rrrrrrrrrroooooott...... although, if I try to delete letters, then one
press of the backspace key will delete the whole lot!!
It will do it totally at random, and no matter what program I am using at
the time, be it Konsole, Firefox, Kmail and so forth..... The only way to
stop it, is to reboot.
I've had similar behaviour on 2006 when the machine's busy with stuff.
In my case copying 300GB between an IDE drive & an IDE RAID5 array and
then diffing it afterwards (so lots of I/O interrupts going on, lots of
CPU time being consumed). I'm assuming it's the timing loop in the
keyboard scan not getting enough of a look in and making invalid
assumptions about when the key was released.
So maybe you've got a process somewhere that's going CPU intensive?
