Are you sure it is not autorepeat > kicking in? Fairly. Just now and then I'll do something like type "blahblah<alt-f1>" eg when flipping consoles to check something and the last letter or two ends up on the screen after the flip (as if the alt-f1 vc switch passes the data somewhere). I suspect its some kind of asynchronous handling using the "current console" rather than the "current console at the time the letter was typed" but it doesn't occur to order so isn't bisectable and I've never managed to pin down where in the keyboard/vt/tty stack it's occurring. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
