Bug#684331:

It took me some time to find out that the video-out hotkey works when I
hold it down for a second or so. But no matter if I hold it down for
some time or not: I'd always get a 'p'.

For example: Let's say I want to change the video mode while writing
this message in Evolution. I'm using my external monitor, the notebook
monitor is deactivated. Now, I hold down the video-out hotkey for a
second or so and get the mirrored view as expected (the notebook monitor
gets activated and I see the same output on both monitors). But in
addition I get a 'p' in this message, right after the last word I wrote
before I switched to the other video mode.

Another way to change the video mode is to double-press the hotkey – it
works just like double clicking. And: I get just one 'p' (and not two as
expected). When I press the video-out hotkey once (and avoid holding it
down for a second or so) I just get one 'p' without any video mode
change. 

Now, I don't know what to do: obviously my original report was wrong but
there's still a bug… Should I close this report and open a new one?
