I've found out that the problem is line 424 in Workarea.C
if (xke->time - last_time_pressed < 35 // should perhaps be tunable
My keyboard autorepeat rate is 30 repeats/s, namely a 33.3msec between events,
so the code above purges half of the keyboard event.
Changing the threshold to 33 fixes the problem.
I suggest using a lower value (20-25?) so it will not cause problems on
other systems.
