You have been subscribed to a public bug:

After a default install on a Dell T7500 (probably not relevant), I found
that key presses did not repeat when a key was held down.  I checked the
setting in the Keyboard control panel, and it was ENABLED.  I googled it
and found this:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1068482

So it would seem this has been around for a while?

For me, deselecting the "Key presses repeat when key is held down" and
then reselecting it fixed the problem immediately.


1.  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
Release:	11.10

2.  Whatever comes by default

3.  I expected key presses to repeat when a key is held down (by
default).

4.  Instead, holding a key caused a single keystroke.
