Or rather, "lack of continuous cursor scrolling". Since I'm using a laptop, I have no diagonal movement keys readily available and use cursor keys instead. Keyboard repeat consistently fails in cardinal directions, in very specific circumstances. It only happens if you do not release one cursor key while releasing another (adjusting designation width while you still set its length for example, or browsing the embark map), and usually if the diagonal movement while the two keys were pressed together was less than two tiles. So, if you scroll the cursor down and press the left key for a while, then release the left key, it works alright. If you tap the left key instead, so that the cursor shifts by only one tile to the left diagonally, then key repeat for the down key fails. It also happens with longer periods of diagonal movement, I havent' been able to pin down the exact pattern yet. Not critical, since only releasing and repressing the key is needed to resume scrolling, but infuriating sometimes.

This should be fixed for 40d10.  I had no totally solid way of testing it, but the code is designed to be a bit more resilient to combinations involving multiple keys.
