Key repeat can't be disabled

[qc00]

I was trying to debug my code using Firebug and the handlers are just called non-stop as the mouseup event was never received in the correct place.

I guess you should either check the position of the mouse when you do a repeat or make it possible to disable the repeat key feature.

(Setting the delay to a large value is not a viable option for me because I am writing a web-app and that long-delay timeout() could be seen as a memory leak.)

I'll look into adding an option to disable the repeat in the next update and troubleshooting this problem. Thanks for reporting this issue!

I couldn't duplicate the issue you were having, but I added the ability to disable the repeat by setting the repeatRate to 0 (zero). I also added some scripting to clear the repeat, just in case.

Thanks again!

Oh, sorry about that.
Procedures to reproduce:

• Open firebug and set a break-point in the mouse-down event handler.
• Click a button and move the cursor to press the continue button
• Mouse-up never fired and the key repeats indefinitely.

LOL, ok well can you reproduce it without using firebug? I tried to catch all of the scenarios, but I don't think I can stop someone from adding break-points.

I guess this can't be reproduced unless something happened during the mouse-down event handler, which should be quite rare. But the ability to disable key-repeating is useful for many people I guess.

Alrighty, I guess I'll just close this issue then. Thanks for the input!
