Description of problem: I am using Fedora 16 with KDE 4.7.4. While typing within KDE applications, a key may burst repeat itself 12+ times. Sometimes a key is stuck. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): KDE 4.7.4 How reproducible: frequent. Start typing on the command line in Konsole, or editing code in Kate. Within 2 minutes one will experience the key repeat problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. type up to 128 keys in any KDE application 2. there is a high probability a key will burst repeat itself 12+ times 3. Actual results: keys burst repeat frequently Expected results: one key per one key tap Additional info: it appears that the key "burst mode" delay is to short.
What keyboard settings do you have have? You can find it in System Settings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Repeat. You can try to set different values for Delay and Rate.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
