Description

Reproduce:

  1. Rapidly press any character or number on the keyboard and the left or right arrow key.
  2. Keep doing that until the mode switches.

Explanation:

The package keypress triggers the string 'escape' which might get interpreted letter by letter. As it includes ´c´ it could change the mode state. (This is an assumption, however, unconfirmed.)

Affected

Tested on

  • Ubuntu 17.10 with gnome-terminal
  • npm@5.4.2
  • node@v8.1.3

Both the local mapscii and telnet version are affected.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the 'keypress' package handles rapid key input and trace the mode switching logic in the codebase to confirm if the 'escape' string is being split and processed character by character, leading to mode toggle.
