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.
