Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
This is a well known bug discussed elsewhere, the problem is although
there are fixes available, none have been implemented. When a key is
held down, the system should wait a bit then generate a string of key
down events. The key up event should only be triggered when the key is
actually physically released. Currently, key presses produce a chain of
key down and key up events. Based on what I have read, the error is
introduced in a sloppy fix of another problem, where some legitimate key
up events were not occurring. This is only a serious problem for video
games, as other software does not require exacting standards for input.
