#input problem
3 messages in this thread
I just upgraded form wb 2.1 to 3. and I don't know if the problem is there
but occasionally I get double characters form a single key stroke. I found I
can fix the problem by running the input pref. setup. Its not necessary to
make changes just click on use.
The problem is not specific to one program. I have had it occur form renaming
icons to using Final Copy. The only other thing I have done recently is install
MagicWB which I don't believe is the problem.
Any ideas on what the problem could be would be appreciated.

Have you tried fooling with the Key repeat delay or the key repeat rate?
That might solve your problem. I'd also suggest noting down your Input
settings, deleting the input.prefs (env:sys), rebooting and re-entering your
prefs and saving. There was a problem with pointer colors that some people had
when upgrading from 2.xx to 3.1 that was solved in just that manner. Good luck!

Doug,
you have the key repeat speed set too low or you haven't saved your
particular "real" preference. Without a real preference, Intuition assumes
certain settings these days. Go through each of the items in the
Workbench/Preferences drawers and set your favorite settings. Save each.
Reboot afterwards. That should do it.
Each time you upgrade you pretty much have to do this as they rearrange
things, change them, or outright ignore 'em.
