For the past year or two, my Emacs has occasionally had fits where it drops some of my key events. The symptom is that I type something like "radian" and I get "rdian". This happens more often when things are laggy in general, but also happens at other times. Usually, my Emacs will get into a state where it'll do it a lot, at least for a little while, but I can't reliably reproduce that state. I noticed that whenever a key is dropped, the text "Quit" is logged in the *Messages* buffer. However, `keyboard-quit' doesn't get called; I checked by adding an advice. Something in the C code causes a quit event to be signaled and also aborts the processing of my key event, apparently. I have confirmed that the problem still happens when none of Flycheck, Company, ElDoc are active. So it's not any of those. I haven't managed to reproduce the problem when Aggressive Indent is disabled, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Aggressive Indent is the problem. It could just be that Aggressive Indent makes my Emacs much slower, and so the bug is more likely to be observed. Typically, the dropped key does not even show up in the lossage (C-h l). However, one time I did notice this curious phenomenon: r [self-insert-command] a d [self-insert-command] i [self-insert-command] a [self-insert-command] n [self-insert-command] Where I typed "radian" but what was inserted was "rdian". The corresponding excerpt of the vector returned by `recent-keys' was: 114 (nil . self-insert-command) 97 100 (nil . self-insert-command) 105 (nil . self-insert-command) 97 (nil . self-insert-command) 110 (nil . self-insert-command) In the terminal, I've noticed things like the letters A-D getting inserted when I use the arrow keys. I presume that this is because one of the events in the escape sequence is eaten by this bug, and the rest of it gets misinterpreted. I have no idea how to go about debugging this, and unfortunately I don't know how to reliably reproduce the problem. But it's been with me a long time and it doesn't look like it's going away on its own. Can someone give me pointers on how to work towards a solution?
