Hi,

I seem to get text repeats when chatting, also mouse repeats click for sim menus.
Usually x3 repeats.

hello
hello
hello

which is annoying when chatting and makes operating complex menus a nightmare.

Help wound be appreciated.

I had a similar problem yesterday, but with only one character repeats from time to time when chatting. It must be performance related because it disapreared after i clear the cache, and re-apeared after a while, but less than before.

It was the first time i saw that and the only new thing on my debian testing (with a few sid) was the nvidia driver i updated from 169.xx (i don't remember the exact version) to 173.14.09.

I don't know if the GFX driver can make such things anyway

This is usually believed to be the result of packet-loss - particularly on wireless devices.

I thought as much about the wifi - packet loss.
I don't suppose there's much i can do about that. ?
