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. + +It doesn't happen within a VT in the guest. It also doesn't happen with guests that run windows, reactos or haiku for example. + +The problem goes away, when disabling xorgs autorepeat function via "xset -r" in the host. +Normally, this setting should not have any effect on the guest, since it has it's own autorepeat setting. So there is some conflict here. + +Steps to reproduce: +Start any linux/bsd 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 (Link to example iso :http://download.grml.org/grml64-full_2018.12.iso) +$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -boot d -cdrom grml64-full_2018.12.iso + + +Qemu version info: +QEMU emulator version 4.0.0 +Copyright (c) 2003-2019 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers \ No newline at end of file |
