You have been subscribed to a public bug:
When the F1 key is pressed for a period of about 5 seconds it will spawn
a huge number of 'Help' windows. It will spawn so many of these that it
actually brought my system to its knees and I had to force reboot it. It
would be nice if this would be somehow limited (like one Help window
every 0.5 seconds).
Now, I don't say Ubuntu should be catproof (it was my cat who pressed
the F1 button) but I think it should be foolproof. Perhaps on lower end
machines the Help window doesn't spawn immediately so the user presses
the key again and again only resulting in a slower and slower machine.
Of course this is a very minor bug (some would probably argue it's not
even a bug! :) and therefore it's just a nice-to-have.
