linux mint user here! i play minecraft via prism launcher. last night, i ran into a key repeat glitch. i was stuck moving forward with no response to my Esc or Fn keys. when i closed minecraft completely, Ws would fill all available text boxes. this happened twice. restarting my laptop stopped the glitch, but i'm wondering what's causing it. is it linux, minecraft, prism launcher, or, alternatively, is this a known issue?

i've run minecraft through modrinth, tested a vanilla instance and have unplugged my wireless mouse to see if it affects the game (because i don't use a wireless keyboard). the glitch still happens. i'm annoyed, but i'm getting closer to figuring out why this is happening. the only problem is i don't have a separate computer to SSH. still, thanks for the suggestion!
