XPS 15 9530 Ubuntu 24 key typing freezes at fixed intervals
When i type text, typing freezes at some fixed intervals, i don't see chars i typed, after 1 sec. they appear.
How to check: open Text Editor in Ubuntu. push "1" key. Text Editor keeps typing "1" char. After about 725-729 chars it freezes for 1 sec and then continues typing. The same effect in Terminal App.
No Events found!

Hi
Which version of Ubuntu is it,Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, for example?
So is it a problem when typing into a web page, or some other editor like JOE for instance, or only those 2 instances.
Keyboard buffer could be involved, insufficient memory allocation?
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS users have reported a variety of keyboard-related issues, including keyboards stopping after a few minutes, keys behaving incorrectly, and virtual keyboard crashes. These problems appear to affect both built-in laptop keyboards and external USB keyboards, and they often do not occur on other operating systems or older Ubuntu versions.
Check system logs with:
journalctl -bsudo dmesg -TTry different USB ports or another keyboard.
Switch between Xorg and Wayland sessions.
Remove and re-add keyboard layouts in system settings.
Update your system to the latest patches; future updates may resolve these bugs.
Use a different version. Either the 22.04 LTS or the current Plucky Puffin.

Hi
After switching to Wayland the problem disappeared.
