Can finally confirm with Russian on Ubuntu-GNOME. Onboard layout doesn't matter.
What appears to happen is that certain key-presses cause a switch of the system keyboard layout (group) to English (US). We've seen that before in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/837456 The workaround still works too: $ setxkbmap ru fixes it for the session. The key repeats happen when the layout switch occurs right after pressing down on Onboard's keys, before they get a chance to be released. Punctuation keys in Onboard act on press down, unlike letter keys, hence only the former cause key repeats. The real problem is the layout switch in the first place, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to onboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562381 Title: Typing special characters with non-US layout get repeated indefinitely Status in onboard package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Typing special characters like .,:;-()"@# (and other) or numbers with non-US keyboard layout get repeated indefinitely, like this: тест...............................................................................................
