Public bug reported: I was pointed here from https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/resolute- regression-in-keyboard-autorepeat-behaviour/81055
I’ve updated from 24.04 to 26.04 and found a regression regarding keyboard autorepeat behaviour. When autorepeating one key and I switch to second key – without releasing the first key strictly serially first – the autorepeat for the second key won’t kick in. This can be reproduced with any two keys I assume, most prominently the cursor keys. I tried both terminal (Ptyxis) and a GTK app (Gnome Text Editor). I tried three keyboards connected to the same machine (internal notebook keyboard and two external USB – one of them I crosstested against Bazzite Linux/Gnome 49/Mutter 49 which worked as expecteed). Test case: * Open any decently sized text file (e.g. log file) in either nano or Gnome Text Editor (or I assume any other editor). The cursor should by placed at the beginning of the file. * Press and hold key down until the key autorepeats. Cursor will move down continuously. * Without releasing down, press and hold right, then release down. The cursor will move one char right but autorepeat won’t kick in. The issue wasn’t present in 24.04. One could argue you’re supposed to press keys strictly serially. But I’m afraid that’s not reality for most (somewhat advanced) keyboard users. Apparently there was a similar issue in Wayland 9 years ago, but it was fixed: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781285 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 26.04 Package: mutter (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 7.0.0-14.14-generic 7.0.0 Uname: Linux 7.0.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.34.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Apr 26 15:45:35 2026 SourcePackage: mutter UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to resolute on 2026-04-24 (2 days ago) ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug resolute wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2150377 Title: Resolute: Regression in keyboard autorepeat behaviour To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2150377/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
