Comment 7 for bug 138380

Leann,

I managed to perform the test today, and the bug can be reproduced on the
latest development kernel as well.

I went through the numeric keys on the remote control, a couple of times,
from 1 to 9 followed by 0 (so the 10 digit keys). After each round I pressed
enter on the keyboard to separate the test result on the console. Here's a
copy / paste from the console - as you can see, a large percentage of the
keypresses was lost.

"adyroman@littlewillie2:~$ uname -a

Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Thanks.
Adrian
