DoEvents is an important feature, and this bug should be solved. I've
read what Steve has found out (the flush thing) and I'm totally
puzzled. I will try to do some testing here to see if we can come up
with something.
Just throwing out ideas:
Could it be a timing issue, and any delay can reproduce this? Like e.g.
select(undef, undef, undef, 0.001);
I added big delays while debugging/tracing, and with a big enough delay,
the keyboard repeat problem was less pronounced, but didn't completely
go away. I was using delays on the order of seconds, not milliseconds,
by the way, so I don't think you'd see any difference with really small
delays.

And here is why it is ridiculous:
The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26
billion on revenue of $2.81 billion.

So that's profit of over 400% of investment... with a bit more
investment in Windows technology, particularly in the area of
reliability, the profit percentage might go down, but so might the bugs
and security problems? Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff.
WalMart earnings are 3.4% of investment.
