Backspace key repeat not working in Ptyxis and Chrome after update to 43.20251216

Legion 5 / Aurora / IBM Serie M

Description

After updating from version 42.20251111.1 to 43.20251216, the Backspace key no longer repeats when held down (on the IBM but trough the laptop keyboard too) in:

  • Ptyxis terminal

  • Google Chrome (Flatpak)

Other keys repeat normally, and other applications (Kate, etc.) work correctly.

System info

  • OS: Aurora DX Nvidia Open (stable)

  • Version: 43.20251216

  • Session: Wayland

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Ptyxis terminal or Chrome

  2. Type some text

  3. Hold down Backspace key

  4. Expected: characters delete continuously

  5. Actual: only one character is deleted

Workarounds

Ptyxis: Rolling back to version 42.20251111.1 with rpm-ostree rollback

Chrome (Flatpak): Force X11 mode by creating the file ~/.var/app/com.google.Chrome/config/chrome-flags.conf with this content:

--ozone-platform=x11

Notes

Rolling back to version 42.20251111.1 fixes the Ptyxis issue completely. The Chrome issue may be related to Wayland changes in version 43.

When you try backspace in Ptyxis and it doesn’t work you could check for errors in the log:
journalctl -xe
