If I open a terminal and start writing, my keyboard input hangs for 1/4 of second every two seconds, and then everything I typed in that 1/4 second shows up all at once.
As a clarifying example: if I keep the `T` key pressed, it repeats as normal, but every 2 seconds it seems to stop for a 1/4 second, after which all the `T`s which would have been printed in that time are printed all at once.
I have this problem every time I type into a terminal, be it gnome-terminal, xterm, or even the CTRL+ALT+F1 console. But this does NOT happen if I type in GUI applications. For example, if I type in Firefox or gedit, everything works ok. It's just consoles that have this problem.
Bug present in Karmic (and Lucid beta 1) only.
