No response
WSL dumps:
No response
Expected behavior:
No response
Actual behavior:
After awhile keys will randomly start repeating (particularly bad with IdeaVIM!) I remember this exact same beviour when I used to use Hyper-V making me think whatever common input library/protocol is to blame
I'm also running Chrome Remote Desktop above this, maybe that is a factor as well
I just started running into this as well. I realize this is an old thread. I've noticed when typing in the terminal sometimes it will miss a key and then keys will just stay repeating until I hit another key.
Did you ever find the root cause?
I'm pretty sure it's from whatever common library is used by both WSLg and Hyper-V because I also experienced this with Hyper-V hosted Linux. I think I tried to bring it up there too years ago and obviously was never fixed

Interesting. As I was thinking about this, I realized that I turned on the "Quick accent" tool in PowerToys Which listens to holding a key down to prompt for doing the accented character. I just turned it off, so I'll monitor for a bit, but so far I'm thinking that may have been my problem.
Following up, I haven't had an incident since disabling the "Quick accent" tool. Its worth looking into any services that are running that may be monitoring input from the keyboard. Not a solution, but maybe a clue.
I don't even have PowerToys installed, but still experiencing the same issue. It gets massively worse if there is more than one WSLg window open, at that point I can basically not type anymore because keys will be just repeating endlessly, until I close all but one window again. I'm not sure, but it might be restricted only to windows from Java applications.
