Comment:

 Autorepeat can (easily) be detected in applications.

 What you get is a key down event, followed by additional key down events,
 finally by the key up event when the key is lifted (on any decent
 keyboard).

 So if you have seen a down event just prior to a down event (for the same
 key) you know you are autodetecting.

 The bug report, however, makes it sound like the browser isn't keeping up,
 and therefore keeps going until it has consumed all the down events.
