[Trisquel-users] Slow terminal and office writer when typing?

[markonius]

Just installed Trisquel on a 8GB Ram laptop and wondering if anyone else has  
had this problem. The install went fine but there's always a brief time-delay  
when I'm typing on either the terminal or the writer program (I forgot the  
name, could be LibreOffice?)

Basically if I hold down the letter a to type "aaaaaaaaaaaa" it won't type in  
real-time, it will delay for a bit, so after I take my finger off the button  
it will carry on typing for a second or so to "catch up" with what I've  
typed. I'm not really sure why that's happening, and I tested out a different  
distro where I didn't get the problem. If it was a low spec PC I could  
understand but at 8GB ram and with the problem not occurring on a different  
distro, I don't know.

While the easiest fix is to just use the distro I don't get the issue on, it  
isn't a fully free one, and that's important to me. Over the last year I've  
gradually moved from proprietary to free and this is the last hurdle. Anyone  
help me out?
