I will try running without the clipboard. However firefox only starts
having this problem occasionally, so it might be a long time before I
would be sure that running without the clipboard helped. And of course,
disabling the clipboard is painful. Perhaps I should try creating some
test setup instead, that would send random keyboard events to a firefox
running on a test vm...
I believe that only the window displaying firefox freezes.

Hello,
I have a weird problem using subuser with the xpra-x11 bridge
http://subuser.org/news/0.3.html#the-xpra-x11-bridge. Sometimes, not
always, but sometimes, I end up with a situation in firefox, that when I
press a key, the key stays down and starts repeating. So if I am
backspacing, it will delete the entire line, or I'll get
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. When this happens, firefox freezes before the
repeated keypresses appear.
That sounds like the whole process is stuck, it may have little to do
with the keyboard which may just be a symptom.
Can you try running with the clipboard disabled?
Some clipboard issues have been reported, clipboard bugs may be able to
cause such problems.
Is it possible, in the xpra api, that you
are sending first a key-down and then a key-up, and some sort of delay
in the protocol causes the x11 server on the container side of the
bridge to think that the key was held down and that repetition should
occure?
By default, we send key-up and key-down events as they occur.
But this can be changed with the "keyboard-sync" switch, see:
https://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Keyboard
Where would I look in the code to try to fix this bug?
The most important thing is to find the cause first, only then can you
start looking at the code.
If this is a regression, when did start? Is it platform specific?
Do all the processes stall, or just firefox? Or X11?
Have you tried enabling debug logging?
etc.
Cheers
