Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: 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.
