Description Ari Pollak 2009-11-23 17:24:37 UTC 
From http://bugs.debian.org/557644:

The usual keyboard repeat interferes with the pan movement activated by
holding down the space bar: it goes smooth for the split second it takes
the repeat to kick in then it goes crazy. Temporarily disabling key
repeat makes space bar panning work fine.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2009-11-23 19:32:19 UTC 
That certainly used to be different, but I can now reproduce this. Looks like something changed either in GDK or in the X server.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2009-11-23 23:27:21 UTC 
I can happily give this bug back to debian, which in unstable ships
a broken X server that breaks the way key repeat is handled by GTK+

It used to be (in GTK+): press press press press press release

In unstbale it is: press release press release press release

The same version of GTK+ works on older servers just fine.

Test script

should print "press press press ... release"

prints "press release ... press release"

Owen Taylor maybe found the commit that broke, but I'm unable to
check that because I have no clue what the patch is doing ;)
