What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Go to System Preferences > Keyboard, and set "Key Repeat" slider all the way to the right.
- Open an iTerm window and hold down a letter key, letting it repeat.
- Also try holding down Backspace to delete a long line of characters.
What is the expected output?
Expected smooth key repeat as in Terminal.app
What do you see instead?
Performance is choppy. Cursor jumps and stutters as characters are typed/deleted.
What version of iTerm2 are you using?
iTerm2 Build 1.0.0.20140112 (I had same problem with iTerm2 1.0.0 and Build 1.0.0.20130622)
What OS version are you using?
OSX 10.8.5 running on a MacBook Air 13" 2013
Please provide any additional information below.
I made a short screencast demonstrating the issue: http://youtu.be/t-xs_Mk5yMY
I realize this is a small issue, but it's frustrating because everything else about iTerm2 is so awesome.
