Public bug reported:
I'm not sure how else to describe this than the title: keys that are
held down for more than 1s (as near as I can judge) repeat endlessly.
If I strike the 'n' key, I get one 'n'. If I hold it down for over one
second, I get a never-ending stream of 'n's, until I press the 'n' key
again.
Attached is the output of xev where I have run `xev > xev.log`, held the
'n' key for approx 1.5 seconds, released it, waited approx 10 seconds,
stuck the 'n' key quickly and then exited xev.
The problem is not that keyboard events in general go missing; keypress
events are never missed and normal typing is fine. It is only when a
key is held down.
The defect appears to be in the X server, as the same problem does not
happen on a text console.
The system is a Lenovo ThinkPad E560 running Ubuntu 16.04 with the stock
kernel.
