Subject: [Must-fix] Keyboard occasionally endlessly repeating keys
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2003 22:24:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030620202444.GD22732@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> (raw)
Hi!
After having upgraded my notebook to 2.5.72, I noticed a rare problem,
that occurs about twice a day, maybe more. After pressing a key, it
gets repeated endlessly until the next key is pressed. When typing
fast, it is quite possible to cover up a couple of these, as the
repeats appear to happen at the set keyboard rates. Problem never
occured with any 2.4 kernel.
I remember having read about this problem on the list before, but
didn't search my archive yet. Also, I consider this to be a show
stopper, as the bug is already nasty when hitting 'q' inside mutt once
and might have worse effects with other programs. YMMV.
