Link to original bug (#793498)
Description
It seems gtk+ applications create some undesired input events on startup as reproducible with both
- gtk-demo (gtk2 2.24.32)
- gtk3-demo (gtk3 3.22.26)
Steps to reproduce:
- run the command for i in {1..20}; do gtk3-demo & > /dev/null; done
- while the command executes open a text edior, hold down a key (e.g. "a")
Result in text editor will look something like "aaaaaâaâaaâaáaaâaâaaaaaáaâaáaaaaaaàaaaáaaaaáaà"
This was discovered on Windows 10, gtk+ packages from MSYS2 project.
