Public bug reported: 1. system - preferences - keyboard - keyboard tab 2. tick 'repeat keys' 3. type in the box
result: 1. for each key pressed, two of each letter appear on key-down, like tthhiiss. 2. when held down continuously, no further letters appear. 3. i'm starting to develop rsi from having to tapping the backspace key repeatedly any time i want to delete a whole word. dag'nabit. expected result: one letter at a time please, unless i hold down the key, in which case a working repeat would be nice. this bug is something to do with x or gnome. keyboard repeat works fine on a virtual terminal. matthew ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- keyboard repeat doesn't work in edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/69810 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
