Dropped key events?

Open abliss opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

This is very anecdotal so far, but I think the new version 1.20 may be dropping some key events.

I don't have hard data but I feel it's between 0.1% and 1% of events.

Sometimes it's a key-down that's dropped, which I perceive as a key I hit not getting typed. Other times it's a key-up that's dropped, which causes key-repeat to kick in and spam that key until I hit it again.

Sometimes, also, capslock state gets swapped (letters get stuck in uppercase, but non-letters don't get shifted).

I don't think it's my hardware or my OS, because I don't see it happening when I type in Chrome or in Terminal. It could be an application bug, since the only X app I type into much is emacs.

This is on my Gemini PDA. I typically type around 100wpm, in dvorak.

I'll keep observing and will report back if I notice any more patterns. In the meantime, does anyone else have similar observations, or suggestions on how to collect data or debug further?
