Description:
In a linux guest within X at any text input field (shell, editor, browser...), pressing and holding a key for a short time causes the associated char to be typed endlessly. The release of the key gets ignored. Example 1: pressing and holding 'a' for a few seconds results in typing of 'aaaaaaaaaaaa...' endlessly. Example 2: pressing and holding 'Backspace' for a few seconds results in deleting all your previously typed text. Expected Behavior: The typing of a char stops when releasing the associated key. Additional info: * package version: 4.0.0-2 * last working version: 3.1.0-2 Steps to reproduce: Start any linux guest system with xserver, open a terminal, press and hold a key for a short time: Look how it gets typed endlessly (Try a few times if it doesn't happen immediately). The easiest way is to run a linux live cd, like this: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -boot d -cdrom grml96-full_2017.05.iso |

Also, windows guests and ReactOS for example are not affected by this bug.
Thats not a sane workaround off course.
