Lenovo laptop media keys

[Konstantin Svist]

Is there a way to fix keys that don't generate "release" event?

My Lenovo laptop has touch-sensitive media keys that apparently only
send "press" events (as seen by showkey) and don't send "release"
events. As a result, pressing VolumeUp once starts an infinite loop of
increasing volume.. causing all kinds of trouble.
"Press" even repeats if the button is held down, but "release" never works.
