*System Information
, ubuntu 14.4
Geforce GTX 1080 and 1080ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.79b,

Problem: all buttons are stuck at zooming in or out.

How to replicate:
Open a new blend file
use the default cube or delete it and spawn another object.
Subdivide it until it has ~500k tris.

select 1 face press control + 'numeric +' or '-' hold it/ spam it and release ctrl.

Now every button you will press will be + or - no matter what you do(you have to save and restart the blender)

Usually it is not a big problem but you might lose some critical undo history.

Edit: i narrowed it down to Ubuntu 14
In Ubuntu 14 whenever blender is doing something heavy it will put all button presses in a queue and does them later while in 16 it won't it will accept input only after the operation is complete .
In windows its queuing as well but it doesn't produce the bug.

It will happen in any key combination in 14 even ctrl z and then the whole Keyboard will become z.
It doesn't appear to happen with the mouse at all (tried select more with ctrl+wheel)

Doesn't happen here. Also you should not have to work on 500k+ mesh in Edit Mode. It's something to avoid at all costs.

I have grown and shrunk selection with Ctrl+RollerUp and Ctrl+RollerDown though so maybe it's because of my key (mouse) mapping..

My mesh has 786k triangles and I selected almost the entire top part, selecting more and selecting less multiple times.

Although it took my PC like a minute to respond due to the heavy mesh after it was done, Blender was fiiine.

Am sorry but ubuntu 14.4 is nearly at end of life already, and that issue sounds totally tied to its handling of keyboard, we don’t have the resources (time nor devs) to chase such specific issues on such old OS…

Yeah we just switched OSes once we found out it was only on 14.
Thanks
