No keyboard after standby

I discovered a strange behavior a few days ago: When I resume Triskel from standby, the trackpad is working fine but the keyboard shows no reaction anymore. I have to restart/shutdown my system then, very annoying!

Can't say for how long this exists as I'm usually using an external keyboard.

Before I start digging into this, has anyone experienced the same issue? Any ideas? Thanks!

(Triskel 11.0, up-to-date, on a Dell Latitude E7450, 16 GB RAM)

I would first try adding atkbd.reset=1 in the boot parameters, and see if it helps.
sudo kate /etc/default/grub

Append atkbd.reset=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line, so it reads for instance GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash atkbd.reset=1"

Then save the file and run:
sudo update-grub

Hi prospero, thanks.
I followed your instructions. When I then tried to resume from standby for the first time the keyboard still didn't work and in addition the mouse froze. Well, that's no improvement, I thought. After a few restarts or so, things kind of settled, and it's been working fine since. So, thank you very much for the quick response and your suggestion. Greatly appreciated!
