Subject: 6.5-rc2: keys autorepeating when they should not

Hi!

I updated to 6.5-rc2, and now I see keyboard problems (in X). ~ once
in two days I get keyboard "stuck", autorepeating. It is USB keyboard,
hitting another key cancels the autorepeat.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Pavel

Sounds like keys are not released because autorepeat handled by X and
not the kernel. I am not sure what would cause this, there were no
changes to the input core recently... Maybe HID?

From which kernel did you update to 6.5-rc2? Any chance you could try
bisecting?

Thanks.
