Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
When logging in the textbox on booting if you hold down a key more than quarter of a second it repeats. This is very confusing. Especially the first time you log in after installing. I thought maybe I entered a wrong password and had to completely reinstall

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot system
2.click login in box
3.hold key down in log in boz more than 250 milliseconds

Actual results:
repeats single entered key

Expected results:

wait at least 500 milliseconds before repeating. Which can be changed to appease Superman and the Flash.
Additional info:This is my first bug report and am a noob at redhat and know basic Ubuntu so sorry if i didnt use correct teminology or etiquette.

we actually do default to 500ms I think:

╎❯ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard delay
uint32 500

I suspect what's actually happening is the system is bogged down and you're hitting this upstream bug in mutter:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777693

I suggest a WONTFIX. At the very least, the suggested change here doesn't make sense; we shouldn't be treating one entry different from any others, and  key repeat is an expected feature of text input.
