try this: Type some text, like XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and then hold left arrow. Your cursor will move to the left until you release the key. Now try to hold the right arrow after you've already been holding the left arrow. It will start to move to the right. Previously, it would continue moving to the right after you released the left arrow. Now, the keyboard repeat STOPS once you release the PREVIOUS key. So, in other words, the repeating of the right arrow is stopped when I release the left arrow... which causes the cursor to stop, and causes me to become aggravated. :P
Not very helpful, sorry, but I'm running the most recent 2.6.30 from Linus and I don't see the same thing here. I'm not running the gentoo kernel, though, so things may not be comparable. Have to say that I've never held down both arrow keys at the same time before today.
