Gah! I just upgraded to Intrepid and this happens to me too. Left and down aren't much slower at repeating than the other keys, but all the keys are quite slow. I can get at most about 6 keypresses per second.
By twiddling with the keyboard repeat controls, xset r rate, and (oddly enough) turning "slow keys" on and off in Accessibility, I can create all kinds of strange behaviors: * xset r rate allows me to get very fast key repeats... but they happen in a spaced out rhythm. That is, I get 5 keypresses at once, then a 1/6 second or so pause, then 5 more keypresses, and so on. * If I turn on "slow keys" in Accessibility (oddly enough), I get almost the behavior I want... except that left and down don't repeat _at all_, which is of course a dealbreaker. * If I set the key repeat delay too low, I get the repeat rate I asked for... for about half a second. Then it slows down to 6 per second. * If I use xset r rate and move the key repeat sliders anywhere in the Keyboard control panel, it goes back to the slow rate. I assume from this behavior that there are two things competing for the keyboard repeat rate. -- The key repeat delay for the "down-arrow", "left-arrow", and "End" keys is longer than the other keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
