repeated input by holding down a key doesn't work when using a USB keyboard

Hi,

Since my last update of the debian sid system on my laptop 
the repeated input of the same key by holding down the key 
for a longer time doesn't work anymore when using an 
external USB keyboard.

I am using CTRL-b / CTRL-f / CTRL-p / CTRL-n etc. all the time 
when editing texts - and find myself forced to hit the key an 
infinite number of times like a professional gamer instead of 
just pushing it once and holding it down for a longer time :(

The laptop keyboard works as before...

Any hint?

Thanks, Dietrich
