Bug ID: 434434
Summary: KDE Plasma Wayland 5.21 - Bug - Key Repeating -
Apparently Random or Intermittent keys repeating
Product: kwin
Version: 5.21.2
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: enlightenme...@cock.li
CC: enlightenme...@cock.li
Target Milestone: ---
Flags: Wayland+, X11-
SUMMARY:
Apparently Random or Intermittent
It's as if someone is holding down the keyboard key itself indefinately
At first one might think its an actual issue with the keyboard itself, like a
sticky Key on the Keyboard
But, i have used 4 different keyboards
The odds are un-likely to be the exact same keys on all four of them being
faulty or sticky - thats statistically unlikely imo
Known instances so far:
Intermittent lower case j
Intermittent space bar
Intermittent 5
Intermittent Enter/Carriage return
First keyboard was a PS/2 one
Second Keyboard was a USB one
Third Keyboard was a USB one
Fourth keyboard is as PS/2 one
STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Problem is Intermittant
OBSERVED RESULT:
One can see this clearly if one is in a notepad like kate
This is not just something annoying that happens in text input fields
This interferes with any/all apps i have focus upon
Once the issue starts, disconnecting the keyboard makes no difference
Using Default System KDE Keyboard Settings
Delay: 600 ms
Rate: 25.00 repeats/s
ISSUE ON KDE Plasma x11: No Instance of this has ever been seen under x11
ISSUE ON KDE Plasma xWayland: YES
ISSUE ON KDE Plasma Full Wayland: Unknown/Un-Tested

NOTES:

below, those previous bug reports
do not specifically refer to Wayland, also due to the DATE those bugs have been
reported, Im making the educated guess
that those issues were noticed on x11 only.
