This appears not to be fixed for me in 2:164-2ubuntu3. Holding down any key generates a string of KeyPress and KeyRelease events, rather than just KeyPress. Output from the reproducer attached to the freedesktop.org bug report:
XAutoRepeatOn returns 1 XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat returns 1, supported = 1 KeyRelease keycode 0x24 time 0x1f2ee16 KeyPress keycode 0x28 time 0x1f3009c KeyRelease keycode 0x28 time 0x1f30290 KeyPress keycode 0x28 time 0x1f30290 KeyRelease keycode 0x28 time 0x1f302b1 KeyPress keycode 0x28 time 0x1f302b1 KeyRelease keycode 0x28 time 0x1f302d3 KeyPress keycode 0x28 time 0x1f302d3 KeyRelease keycode 0x28 time 0x1f302f5 KeyPress keycode 0x28 time 0x1f302f5 KeyRelease keycode 0x28 time 0x1f30316 KeyPress keycode 0x28 time 0x1f30316 -- problem with key repeat, extra key up events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
