Description Jan Grulich 2021-01-26 10:31:41 UTC 
SUMMARY
Holding any key for a longer time doesn't make the key to being constantly pressed, like holding an arrow to keep moving the cursor or holding the backspace to delete. It always results into a single press.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hold any key for longer time


OBSERVED RESULT
It looks like the key was pressed just once.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should repeat the press.

I was told this is an intentional change. Can be configured in system settings.
