Long continuing keypress freezes WindowsXp-Host — at Initial Version

Description

Hi,

If I press a key on the keyboard for a very long time the input devices and maybe the whole system freezes until the key is released.

I first encountered this while "walking" in a 3D video game, where this bug also results in a Network-Lag but it not only happens in games it also can be reproduced on the Desktop.

The guest OS here is WindowsXp with SP3, with a 2 CPU host and guest.

Steps to reproduce:

1.) Create new empty textfile. 2.) Press a character key. 3.) Move the mouse several times in a slow/normal speed from edge to edge.

Expected results: Character is written to text file endlessly and mouse cursor moves over the screen.

Real result: Mouse and Screen freezes until the key press is released.

The mouse move only hastens the thing, it also happens without mouse but than it takes way longer. I normally manage to get two freezes before the character hits the border, sometimes only one.

If you need additional information , I'm glad to help as good as I can.

Bye, Karsten
