>Description:
Keys tend to get "stuck" when key repeat is enabled in KDE and using
the wscons driver. Key repeat works fine in console.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use a kernel with wscons. Start a KDE session. Define a key sequence
(eg. alt-down) for switching screens. Minimize the taskbar on one
screen but not on the other (make sure animation is enabled), and open
a few apps (eg. netscape) on one screen (to make the two screens
different). Press and hold the desktop switch key sequence to switch
screens a couple of times. When you let the keys go, switching
continues as the keypress keeps repeating itself.

On a slow machine the problem can be repeated by scrolling down in less
or other more simple means. In the simpler cases, the repeat seems to
end when you manage to put in another, valid keypress.

>Fix:
Unknown.
