Whenever I type c, d and (space) quickly, the actuall output is cd(newline)(space). This is obviously most problematic while working with console/terminal.

This happens in all applications, with all system keyboard layouts I've tested.

I only have one idea what might cause this: perhaps some bug in the HP mini 5103 keyboard driver?

System Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on HP mini 5103, driver Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard with HP QLB.

    +1 for providing all necessary information. Have you tried another external keyboard with the MS standard driver? Do you use the normal terminal or some kind of special? – Michael K Jul 01 '11 at 09:52
  • Also try holding the `c` key down and then typing `d` slowly. – JdeBP Jul 01 '11 at 11:28
  • Right, it's actually triggered when both `c` and `d` are down (does not matter how long) and space is pressed. – Mikulas Dite Jul 01 '11 at 21:24

Try doing this on a LiveCD from Ubuntu or something. If the same problem exists then you know it's hardware related.

This is a hardware bug. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g-Windows-8/Bug-in-keyboard-for-Mini-5103/td-p/321243

It has been fixed in the January 6 2011 BIOS update.
