There’s a small bug in SDL_EnableKeyRepeat. Under certain situations, the
pressed key won’t repeat at all.
Here’s how to reproduce the bug :
- press a key
- press a second key before the autorepeat of the first key acts
- release one of the 2 keys
Then, there won’t be an autorepeat. It is important that the 2 keys pressed
have the same keysym.sym value. You can test that easily with the left and
right arrow key for example.
Here’s a patch for SDL_keyboard.c Sorry but I don’t have access to a better
way to make the patch right now.

Oups, I noticed now that the only reason that patch works must be because I
upgraded my libSDL version at the same time I’ve written it. Sorry I won’t
bother you with 1AM patches anymore.
