Hello Jeff, Thanks for the bug report! However, this bug has already been reported once (#248201), and turns out to be related to glutIgnoreKeyRepeat() being broken in freeglut3 2.2.0. That bug has been fixed in freeglut upstream CVS, but the Debian package (which is not based on the upstream CVS version) does not incorporate these changes. There are currently three workarounds for this: a) do as you did, disable autorepeat for that display, b) use the patches attached to #248201 and build a custom freeglut3 (I have tested this, and works as expected), or c) you use the middle mouse button, which performs the same function as the spacebar. I hope this helps you. For the elegant fix, we'll probably have to wait for the next release of freeglut3. I will merge this bug with #248201. Cheers, Thierry
