This doesn't look like a terminal problem. It looks like a kernel problem -- some input device is spamming fake key press events.
It would be useful if you could determine which device is sending these events. I would run `sudo evemu-record`, pick each device in turn, to see if it sees repeating events or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722298 Title: keyboard autorepeat not happening when I hold down any key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1722298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
