Typing `cd ` quickly does produce enter

Question

Whenever I type c, d and (space) quickly, the actuall output is cd(newline)(space). This is obviously most problematic while working with console/terminal.

This happens in all applications, with all system keyboard layouts I've tested.

I only have one idea what might cause this: perhaps some bug in the HP mini 5103 keyboard driver?

System Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on HP mini 5103, driver Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard with HP QLB.

Try doing this on a LiveCD from Ubuntu or something. If the same problem exists then you know it's hardware related.

This is a hardware bug. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g-Windows-8/Bug-in-keyboard-for-Mini-5103/td-p/321243

It has been fixed in the January 6 2011 BIOS update.
