G'day.

I'm almost sure I've seen this question posted before, but I've never seen an
answer.

My Amiga has recently developed a sporadic problem with its string requestors.
What happens is that I'll press a key, and it will just REPPPPPPPPPPPEAT very
very quickly. Pressing another key stops the repeat, but 'backspace' seems to
take forever to start deleting characters (Amiga-X works instantly though).

I mostly notice this happening in the string requestors for Cygnus Ed, [since
I use CED a lot] but I've seen other programs do it (Quarterback,
Mandelblitz).

I have an A2500 with 2090a disk controller, GVP 30Mhz 68030/68882, 4Mb 32 bit
memory, 4Mb 16 bit memory on an 8Up! board, 1Mb chip, Fat agnus, ASDG dual
serial board, and a 'cherry' keyboard (with the normal key sized function
keys, and red topped 'Amiga' keys.) I'm running under Workbench 1.3.2 with
MyMenu, PopupMenu, Popcli, Arexx, Ced and some AmigaUUCP stuff
running/resident.

Any hints as to what my problem may be?
