You have been subscribed to a public bug: After a default install on a Dell T7500 (probably not relevant), I found that key presses did not repeat when a key was held down. I checked the setting in the Keyboard control panel, and it was ENABLED. I googled it and found this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1068482 So it would seem this has been around for a while? For me, deselecting the "Key presses repeat when key is held down" and then reselecting it fixed the problem immediately. 1. Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 2. Whatever comes by default 3. I expected key presses to repeat when a key is held down (by default). 4. Instead, holding a key caused a single keystroke.
