I'm having the same problem with Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit. There are a couple workarounds:
1. Disable autorepeat in System->Preferences->Keyboard. 2. Run a script which contains the command "xset r off". -- xset -r causes loss of control of keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
