Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.3+18 Severity: normal If I hold a key down at the moment that I switch away from an X console, the server misses the key-release signal and keeps auto-repeating key-press events until I switch back. The easiest way to reproduce this is to type "chvt 1" in a terminal window and press the enter key, holding it down for just a moment until the screen blanks. Wait a few seconds, then switch back to the X console. The terminal will be filled with empty prompts.
I suggest that the X server should immediately send key-release events for all the keys that are held down at the moment the console is switched. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.
