I beg to differ. A few hours ago I put a score book up on my laptop
(because my music stand is missing in action). Half an hour later, I
found that it had pressed a key with auto repeat, with the cursor in
Firefox' location bar. Now 15 characters per second for half an hour
without a newline is not "real typing speed". Nevertheless, it was
completely annoying that Firefox was thrashing so hopelessly that after
a few minutes of trying to erase that long line in the location bar (C-a
DEL should have done the trick) I had to kill and restart Firefox.
I think that any tool with text entry should stand up to this sort of
abuse.
