Steps to reproduce:

1. Open xterm.
2. Type text.

I've verified the problem does *not occur in a console window. It only happens in X.

WSL logs:

WSL dumps:

No response

Expected behavior:

No response

Actual behavior:

Here is an example of something I see all the time:

This is a sentence I am typing.  This is another sentence I am typing.  This is athird sentence.  The fourth sentence lies here.
This is one more sentence.  The fifth.  Now this is thesventh because of theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The missing spaces and letters were typed. The repeated "e" characters were not typed.

This behavior renders X11 apps unusable.

Same problem on another Windows build. I confirm xterm is unusable, but it doesn't appear to affect all X11 apps. For example emacs 29.09 X11 build (guix build running on top of debian 12) seems fine.

I am ... orving ... observing (not joking: I am not fast at typing, and have to type like a snail to avoid this issue) the same problem when starting a WSL session in the Windows Terminal. The "kicker" is that the "illness" propagates to MSYS64 consoles and even browseees ... I mean "browser's" forms, as is the case RIGHT HERE! It is October 4, 2024 and this issue started appearing only a few days ago - more than a year after the last comment. (puzzled)

Two cents: I am only 50% this is WSL related: it feels like bad handling of keyboards interrupts. Maybe the wireless keyboard driver is misbehaving, because the batteries are fresh, but the illness appears to become really bad when WSL is active. It's driving me crazy and forcing me to reboot to alleviate the problem. Hoping for a miracle cure.
