Public bug reported:
Version: Ubuntu Edgy, completely updated.
Computer: IBM Thinkpad T42.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a terminal.
2. Issue "xset r off"
3. Start xev.
4. Hold down the Back key. It happens also with the Forward key.
Expected result:
You should get one KeyPress event on press and one KeyRelease event on release.
Actual result:
You get a series of KeyPress/KeyRelease events on hold.
Other, maybe related info:
When "xset r on", holding down other keys throw this:
1. KeyPress.
2. The typematic delay.
3. Series of KeyRelease+KeyPress.
4. Finally a KeyRelease.
However, holding down the Back or Forward keys, xev throws this:
1. KeyPress+KeyRelease.
2. The typematic delay
3. Series of KeyPress+KeyRelease, until released.
Other linux distributions don't show this wrong behavior.
