[Bug 1906180] [NEW] Keyboard keys get stuck

[Bug 1906180] [NEW] Keyboard keys get stuck

[johannes]

Public bug reported:

Keyboard keys get "stuck" quite often, on certain Linux guests at least,
and start repeating themselves until another key is pressed. This is
especially noticeable with key combinations like Ctrl+V for pasting.
When it happens, you get the pasted text and
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv...

This bug has been present for quite some time but I don't remember any
specific version that had it first.


QEMU version: 5.1.0
Guest: Debian stable 64-bit (live), with Gnome desktop (may occur with other Linux guests too)
Host: Arch Linux with KDE desktop (X11, wayland not tested); both default and hardened kernel tested

QEMU start command:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 6G -cpu host -smp 3 -cdrom debian.iso -boot d -vga std

** Affects: qemu
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

Which user interface do you use? SDL? GTK? VNC?

I use GTK and I have seen that exact bug for a while,
but it disappeared long time ago.
You might be unlucky to get the affected version.

I've encountered this with GTK interface. I'll test if this occurs with
SDL too.

Can you confirm whether you are executing QEMU on your local
desktop/laptop machine, or remotely over SSH with X11-forwarding, or
over a remote VNC server, etc ? In the remote cases stuck keys is
somewhat of a known problem especially if latency is bad

I've been testing this with SDL interface but haven't yet encountered
this bug. So this might be specific to the GTK interface.

This might be less common in 5.2.0 but I have still had some strange
issues with keyboard.
