When I have to hold down keys for a while in games like Fancy Pants Adventure, and I release the key after a while, the computer falls behind what I'm doing. Basically it is lagging. IT falls behind my keystrokes

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start playing a game that requires movement.
2.Hold down a movement key for around 10-15 seconds
3.release key & what your person continue to act like your still hitting the key. 
Actual Results:  
The person continued to move.

Expected Results:  
Stopped immediatly.

I'm not using anything special. I just installed 3.0.
IT also seems to happen using the arrow keys when typeing, but to a lesser extent.
