Nope. I investigated this once before, and tried increasing the
timeouts to no avail.
I agree that it's a bug. However, many users may get annoyed that
every time they hit caps lock it logs a timeout, even though it works
fine.
I propose two possible compromises:
1. #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC
2. After ~10 messages, it disables the warning
