Public bug reported:
In a terminal, after you enter the following command:
xset r off
It turns off key auto-repeat, as it should. You can press and hold a
key, and only one such key will be displayed.
If you then press the num-lock key (in the numeric key-pad), then press
and hold a key, it is repeatedly displayed, and the command:
xset q
outputs information showing that auto-repeat has been turned back on.
I expected that after doing the "xset r off" command, auto-repeat would
remain off, regardless which key is pressed.
Yet when I pressed the num-lock key (in the numeric key-pad), auto-
repeat got turned back on. It did not do this on Ubuntu 14.04.
This causes problems for an application which turns-off key-repeat by
using the "xset r off" system command.
I have observed this happening in both the ubuntuMATE and Lubuntu
distributions.
