If I was typing an 'a' it starts writing 'aaaaaaaa' nonstop, if I was typing 'd' it will write 'dddddd', or, worse, if I was in vim an not in insert mode, it starts deleting all the file's lines, one by one. When this happens, nothing seems to make the input stop. It always happened to me while using vim inside a konsole. The only thing I have managed to do to make the input stop was to insert an USB keyboard on one of the USB slots - that made the input stop and the computer behave normally. After the fact I looked at dmesg but there was no indication whatsoever of something gone wrong. This happens to me infrequently (less than one per month), but it wasn't just once - and this can be perilous (in case the input being sent has a destructive action, like the 'delete' key on a file manager; or when there's no external keyboards around and the only choice is to force a shutdown by pressing the power key). Apparently I am not alone in this, for eg. you can see the same behavior on a Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 2 running 20.04 reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/124406/comments/385 .
