I have a computer running Lubuntu 14.04 with a Symbol LS2208 barcode scanner attached. It scans fine most of the time, but has an irregular problem scanning codabar barcodes in web apps. It will sometimes randomly leave out one number in the middle of the barcode string. It is not always the same position, and the same barcode can sometimes work and sometimes not. The problem only occurs on my Lubuntu computer, not on my Windows computer. The problem happens when I scan barcodes into a variety of dialog boxes in a web browser (not all the same webapp). The problem seems to be specific to the machine and/or OS, not to a specific webapp. Any hints on what I can do to fix this?
