You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Long pressing a key will only repeat a few characters or won't repeat at
all in the default 17.10 GNOME environment, it affects all keys
including backspace and arrows.
It isn't application specific, the problem is always there whether be it
terminal or firefox.
Setting the repeat delay to 0 will instantly trigger it, however it will
still stop after a few characters.
I freshly installed 17.10 on a Lenovo Ideapad 700, I haven't had the
problem in 16.04 with GNOME 3.22.
Edit: Happens in Xorg as well.
