It will start to move to the right. Previously, it would continue
moving to the right after you released the left arrow. Now, the
keyboard repeat STOPS once you release the PREVIOUS key. So, in other
words, the repeating of the right arrow is stopped when I release the
left arrow... which causes the cursor to stop, and causes me to become
aggravated. :P

Not very helpful, sorry, but I'm running the most recent 2.6.30 from
Linus and I don't see the same thing here.  I'm not running the gentoo
kernel, though, so things may not be comparable.

Have to say that I've never held down both arrow keys at the same time
before today.
