Re: Weirdness with Input Method/quail : how to figure out source of it?

[ISHIKAWA,chiaki]

Hello,

Just to be sure that everyone understands the background of the issue:

Are you running emacs under which OS?
 Linux (which distribution)?
 FreeBSD ?
 Solaris ?

Also, is it natively run on hardware, or is it run inside
virtual environment such as
 - VirtualBox
 - VMPlayer
 - other,

on which host OS if this is the case
etc.?

I had a strange key repeat problem running linux (Debian) inside VirtualBox
running on Windows XP host a couple of years ago, and ever since I have a
a line to control key repeat in my x startup file in the linux image
in that computer.
And yes, the problem was intermittent.
But this problem was noticed on every program in the linux image, not only by 
Emacs,
but by shell and others. So this may not be quite the cause in your case.
