Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.5+5
Severity: normal
infrequently, roughly once or twice a day, a keyboard key will begin to repeat
without being held down.
another key press cancels the repeating symptom.
the symptom occurs more frequently with xterm, wmaker, and mplayer.
the symptom is more likely to occur if the system has been placed under memory
pressure, such as a backup, playback of a DVB-T transport stream, or a kernel
compile.
in three scenarios has the symptom been observed:
1. while scp'ing a large file from another host, while playing a television
programme using mplayer, pressing the f key to toggle between fullscreen and
partial screen ... mplayer responded by oscillating between the two sizes until
another key was pressed,
2. while doing a backup with tar, and no active screen use, pressing F12 to
start an xterm (via a wmaker key definition), resulted in several hundred
xterm's being forked, until an out-of-memory condition was triggered,
3. while playing a video with mplayer, pressing 'q' to quit, mplayer properly
quits, and then finding the 'q' begins to repeat in the xterm that was being
mplayer's window.
