It is attached to this mail.
This is the already new version! I had the repeat type to raw, too.

I had a strange problem when doing this. My mouse didn't work anymore in
X. I have no idea why. Anyway, the problem about the 5 second lock was
still there.

The same goes for me. I also have apt-listchanges installed but didn't
see the news item.

Yes. The 5 second lock disappears. So the problem was obviously caused
by this.
But this solution still isn't comforting me. Now I have some strange
bevaviour of my mouse. I do not know how to specify it, but it _feels_
different than before.
And after some testing I even found a problem with the mouse.
When the mousepointer is at the left side of the screen and I start
shaking the mouse very fast from left to right and back again a lot, the
pointer only moves in the left third of the screen. I think something
like this is the cause of of the different "feeling" of the mouse.
