Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
After upgrading to maverick I have an annoying problem. I am using four keyboard layouts, usage of three of them are indicated by the scroll lock led. I am using the scroll lock key to switch between them. After some change between the layouts, something goes crazy and it starts to cycle between the layouts very quickly without my intent, the led flashes all the time, and also I can see that pressing the same key generates different character randomly based on the fact which layout was active in that moment. I cannot find a solution to stop this action. The keyboard indicator on the panel shows the primary layout only, not cycling there. I had the idea to start xev, and I see endless printings like this
