| |
Hi!
After having upgraded my notebook to 2.5.72, I noticed a rare problem, that occurs about twice a day, maybe more. After pressing a key, it gets repeated endlessly until the next key is pressed. When typing fast, it is quite possible to cover up a couple of these, as the repeats appear to happen at the set keyboard rates. Problem never occured with any 2.4 kernel.
I remember having read about this problem on the list before, but didn't search my archive yet. Also, I consider this to be a show stopper, as the bug is already nasty when hitting 'q' inside mutt once and might have worse effects with other programs. YMMV.
