Hi,
I'm experiencing a terrible usability problem. My emacs was built
from CVS:
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2006-05-07
The problem is that in rst-mode
(http://www.merten-home.de/FreeSoftware/rst-mode/), when I hold down
the `-' key to get a row of repeated dashes (needed often in rst
documents), after the first dash, the display doesn't update until
after I release the key.
* The problem goes away if I turn off font-lock
* My font lock settings are at the default
* Changing the jit-lock customization seems to have no effect
* I don't remember this happening in earlier versions of emacs.
Can anyone offer a clue as to what the fix might be?
Thanks,
--

It just means that Emacs can't keep up with the repeat rate.
Maybe because rst-mode's font-lock settings are too inefficient or
too complex. Or because you compiled Emacs-CVS with too much run-time
checking, ...
