The problem is not with billard-gl however, but due to glutIgnoreKeyRepeat() being broken in freeglut3 2.2.0. You can find further information in the bug reports for #248201[1] and #293687[2] (with a couple of workarounds). > This bug is reported to upstream author, > http://www.ameds.de/billardgl/read.php?f=4&i=1&t=1 > but BillardGL seems practically dead upstream, so forwarding bug > to Tobias Nopper probably won't solve the problem. Upstream was practically inactive until fairly recently. They are currently planning a complete rewrite of billard-gl and are considering using SDL. > I tried to sort things out myself, but plenty of BillardGL code is > written/documented in German (eg. variable names). > So, unfortunately, I had to give up trying to analyze program to make > useful patch.

It is freeglut3 that is broken in this regard. Hope this helps. Cheers, Thierry [1]: http://bugs.debian.org/248201 [2]: http://bugs.debian.org/293687
