When accessing a VM console, in Firefox only and not in Chrome or IE, keystrokes are duplicated even though the keyboard.typematicMinDelay parameter is set to 2000000. I know this is likely a Firefox issue, but wondering if anyone else has noticed this and found a workaround or fix. All browsers are current versions. In the past, Firefox seemed to work correctly but I had been using Chrome for the past year or so, so I don't know when the issue in Firefox may have started. I am looking at Firefox now because my Chrome doesn't want to run Flash at the moment.
We fixed a problem with repeating keys in Firefox 54, 55, 56 in ticket 1999987. We have not found a user-side workaround. This will be in future releases of the products that consume it.
From what application are you accessing the VM console (vCenter, Horizon, etc?)
Can you fix the issue for newer version of firefox? Im experiencing it in quantum.
UPDATE: going into about:config and turning input_event_queue.supported to false fixes the issue.
Thanks so much! I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a fix to that!
Thanks for this!!!
It was driving me nuts, and since the latest Workstation hangs when connecting to vCenter VMs, this made any console a PITA.
This works. Thanks
That's It! Works good.
Merci beaucoup!
Hmm, not working here.
