Game Focus problem with Vice cores

I was testing a bunch of tex tadventures from Telarium with the C64 Vice cores and discovered that Game Focus turned off results in constant Keyboard input of the “= sign”. I was thinking that this is probably game specific, but then I discovered that when you just start the C128 core this also happens:

Does anyone know a fix?

I wasn’t able to reproduce this. I asked sonninnos about it and he couldn’t, either. What kind of system are you using? I’m on linux 64-bit here.

I’ve tested on two different Windows installs (Win 11 and 10), and it happens on both, but after installing a fresh nightly I discovered what seems to be the reason. Changing the default hotkey from scroll_lock to something else like a letter or backlash like I have (on my physical keyboard that’s the # key), this repeating input will occur here.

Nothing to do with this core per se, since this affects all computer cores that use the keyboard callback. The same key won’t trigger keyup if it toggles game focus on the same press. I’ll try to look into it.
