Likewise, after doing an "xset r off" command, if you do a "numlockx on"
command, auto-repeat is turned back on.

Title:
  xset r off fails after hitting num-lock key

Status in “x11-xserver-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In a terminal, after you enter the following command:

  xset r off

  It turns off key auto-repeat, as it should.  You can press and hold a
  key, and only one such key will be displayed.

  If you then press the num-lock key (in the numeric key-pad), then
  press and hold a key, it is repeatedly displayed, and the command:

  xset q

  outputs information showing that auto-repeat has been turned back on.

  I expected that after doing the "xset r off" command, auto-repeat
  would remain off, regardless which key is pressed.

  Yet when I pressed the num-lock key (in the numeric key-pad), auto-
  repeat got turned back on.  It did not do this on Ubuntu 14.04.

  This causes problems for an application which turns-off key-repeat by
  using the "xset r off" system command.

  I have observed this happening in both the ubuntuMATE and Lubuntu
  distributions.
