[qubes-users] lag causes dropped or repeated keys

When my computer is laggy key sometimes the UI will freeze for a second, and then the last key i pressed before it froze will be repeated as if it was held down the entire time (I like setting my key repeat rather low). Sometimes key presses are also dropped.

This is really frustrating is there any way to fix this? I haven’t had this problem on other operating systems.

Does this happen when a qube shuts down (e.g. a disposable qube)? I too observe sometimes a few seconds of freeze while a qube shuts down (mostly very large ones, so I think it's related to SSD and trim).

Sometimes key presses are also dropped.

I had a similar issue but it only happened with my USB connected keyboard and not the build-in one. It turned out that a specific USB hub created the issue and when I moved the USB keyboard to a port directly at the computer the issue went away.

Yours might be a different problem, but I thought I'll mention just in case.
