Description:
After I upgraded to linux 4.13.3-1 (from 4.12.13-1), I have strange problems with keyboard: in any application if I press and hold backspace to delete a lof of characters, it delete only a few and stops, forcing me to press backspace many times to be able delete texts. Or any time i need to press and hold any key, to repeated a character multiple times, the holding is interrupted shortly. If I change to a console prompt (CTRL-ALT-F3 for example), I see that a strange character (something like ^@) is typed every second, making it impossible to login in the console, it happens even if I unplug the keyboard from the machine. It seems the kernel 4.13 is somehow generating false keyboard strokes.

The only workaround is downgrading package linux (4.13.3-1 -> 4.12.13-1).


Steps to reproduce:
Turn on the machine after linux upgraded to 4.13.3-1.
