Bug Description

Xubuntu 14.04.1 on ASUS S400C laptop, since updates at the end of September I have been getting problems with some keys using En-GB with extended WinKeys. Specifically 'p', which sends something like '~q~-' and in Chrome opens either the print dialog or the debug console, and 'Esc' which started sending '0scn' particularly in vi. Removing ibus seems to have resolved the problem but if it's going to be the default keyboard manager there's something odd there.

This is odd as it seems only to be 'p' and Esc that are affected. It has started happening again after using Skype but has not recovered after a reboot, so it may not be ibus after all. Onboard has crashed after starting in the desktop but works in LightDM. I will investigate more.
