1900397 - keydown events always have `repeat:false`

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1594003

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Gianni Ceccarelli]

Attachment: e.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0

Steps to reproduce:

load the attached file, focus the p element, press a key and keep it pressed until the auto-repeat starts

Actual results:

all events logged to the console have repeat:false

Expected results:

events after the first (i.e. events generated because of auto-repeat) should have repeat:true

google chrome 125.0.6422.112 correctly sets repeat

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Do you use Wayland build? If so, it's not supported repeat yet. Or do you use XINPUT2 (bug 1594003)?

I swear I had searched for similar bugs… anyway, yes, X11 with XINPUT2, so this is a duplicate of 1594003

if it helps, this is plain X11 with fvwm2, no desktop environment

No worry, number of duplicated reports of lack of feature may be important to considering the priority to implement.
