It's good to hear that there are others sharing the pain - at least to a |
| 7 |
degree - today, as most topics I've come across stop around 2018, which |
| 8 |
made me believe the issue had been resolved in the kernel. |

This is basically what I've been doing. However, it's not as easy when |
| 20 |
it causes the keyboard to freeze as well, where the only solution is |
| 21 |
usually a hard reset without access to an external keyboard. It's also |
| 22 |
incredibly time consuming to do a few times an hour, even without having |
| 23 |
to reboot. |

I might bump up the bug report on kernel.org and see if gets any attention. |
