            Bug ID: 781896
           Summary: Wayland: Make key repeat more resilient to keys not
                    being released
    Classification: Platform
           Product: gtk+
           Version: 3.22.x
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Backend: Wayland

Description:

Bug 778019 (and bug 779374) changed the way key repeat is handled, allowing
more than one key press and still repeat the last key pressed when the previous
one is released.

Unfortunately, if there is one key release missing (e.g. keyboard hardware
issue keeping a key depressed), all keys will be repeated indefinitely.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Press key "a" and keep the key pressed
2. Press key "b" and release.
3. Press key "c" and release.

Actual result:

Key "b" is repeated even after being released, until key "c" is pressed, and
then key "c" is preated even after it's released, etc.

Expected result:

If the last key press is released, key repeat should stop even if some older
key is kept depressed.
