This is still a problem in Feisty. It's definitely not caused by load, Slow Keys is being enabled without warning, and there's no obvious documentation on how it's turned on or off.
There's no way to disable "automatic" Slow Keys without disabling all keyboard accessibility features. This problem is particularly vexing on Macbooks, where Mousekeys is nearly essential for day-to-day use. -- "slow keys" can turn on surrepitiously & cause confusion. https://launchpad.net/bugs/41427 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
