#6088 closed defect (obsolete)

Key repeating mask in X11 host set to ffffffffffffffff

Reported by: rmrfchik Owned by:
Component: VMM Version: VirtualBox 3.1.2
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

After start, VirtualBox sets the host's auto repeating keys mask to match to all keys. you can check this with "xset -q" command:

  auto repeating keys:  00ffffffffffffff
                        ffffffffffffffff
                        ffffffffffffffff
                        ffffffffffffffff

This breaks user experience in X11, because it doesn't allow, for example, use Shift-Click to select text in terminal applications (because Shift is now auto-repeating).
