Switching between fullscreen Chrome triggers repeated keypresses

Reported by ymin...@gmail.com, Apr 5 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open two full-screen chrome windows on a mac, with an empty screen between them.
2. Start at one chrome, Ctrl-arrow to the middle window, lift your hands off the keys and wait a moment. Then Ctrl-arrow to the other Chrome window.
3. hit a key

What is the expected behavior?
The key press should be registered once

What went wrong?
Instead, it's registered over and over in a seemingly infinite loop, only ended when you click with the mouse. If you hit other keys, they get added to the repeating cycle. You can end up with 2-3 keys repeating in a loop, amazingly enough.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.110  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.12.3
Flash Version: 

Now that I have the replication mechanism up, it's surprisingly repeatable on my fully-up-to-date mac. It also works on an incognito window, so I suspect it's not related to extensions.

Can't repro with 10.11. Perhaps a 10.12 issue?

Can someone with 10.12 confirm?

I'm happy to provide more information on this if it would be helpful. It really is a pretty frustrating bug, though in the meantime I've worked around it by never full-screening my chrome...

I couldn't repro this in 10.12. Does this happen with Safari as well? It seems like a macOS bug.

Comment 5 by ymin...@gmail.com, Apr 12 2017

I just tried this again with Safari, and could not reproduce, but the reproduction I described earlier continues to work just fine with Chrome.

It's worth noting that the reproduction is weirdly brittle. I hit control-arrow to switch to the middle screen, lift my hands off of the control, and press control-arrow again, and then I see the problem. If I keep my finger on control the entire time, then the problem doesn't occur.

Maybe also worth noting: I had this on my old laptop, and switched to a new one, and the problem re-occurred. So, to the degree that this is specific to my setup, it doesn't seem to be specific to the hardware.

Also, I just tried it on a guest account, using a not-logged-in-chrome, so it's hard to imagine that any user-level settings cause the issue.

Any progress on this one? I still see it with Chrome 61.0.3163.100 and OS X Sierra 10.12.6.

Comment 11 by ymin...@gmail.com, Oct 15 2017

I just upgraded to High Sierra, and can't reproduce the problem anymore, FWIW.
