Not common at all. Given that it wears the electronics a lot, it must be either a defect (of the kinds Brazilian law forces the manufacturer to either fix or give you your money back). Assuming it also does this when running Windows, I'd report it as a grave bug to the vendor and demand it to be fixed, or the machine to be exchanged with another model that doesn't have this defect. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
