Hi,

sometimes a button is pressed indefinitely.

as an example i do CTRL+C (for copy) and then the text i have marked is replaced by a lot of c because it recognizes that i am supposedly pressing c all the time, which of course is not the case. i then have to press c again or another key so that it knows that i am pressing something else, only then does it stop.

Has anyone observed anything similar?

App: 0.4.5-dev202506201908 (why i cant copy this in jetkvm)
System: 0.2.5
Firefox 139.0.4 (64-bit)
Windows 10

I still see the same behavior randomly happening on any browser.

Happens all the time. We shouldn't have to connect to ethernet and be on the same LAN to avoid this problem.

Same issue, a random key I press will repeat indefinitely until I click another key. Very annoying

I’m currently experiencing the same issue. Glad it’s not just me, I was going crazy thinking there might be a USB signaling issue or something.

To add a bit to the discussion:
On "unreliable" network connections I sometimes get "stuck" keyboard events — basically the same keypress keeps firing in a loop.

In extreme cases this leads to an unrecoverable loop of repeated input.

** Even closing the remote connection doesn't fix the issue.**
very meaningful video:
Watch video?

Logging in a new connection (different computer, different browser...) the JetKVM is still suck in a loop.

IMHO very wrong behaviour.

There is no justifiable reason or scenario where the JetKVM should "generate" any event with no remote connections.
If no clients are connected, it shouldn’t be emitting events (such as keyboard/mouse signals, video frames, or system-level triggers).

More often, a single keystroke generates multiple events, sometimes arriving in the wrong order, which causes really unusual scrambling behavior.
