Q: Volume key repeat stop working

EdiDWhen I hold down an ASCII key on the keyboard, it will repeat. However, if I hold down the volume function key, it will not repeatedly increment the volume. How can I fix this? (Ubuntu 16.04 64bit)

keyboard volume-control

@AibaraIduas or EdiD Could you run xev -e keyboard see if it does repeat at Xorg level. sudo evtest choose keyboard id , see if it does repeat here too.
@AibaraIduas, it could be a regression in the kernel, could you test kernels: v4.4.13-xenial , v4.7-rc3-yakkety from kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline and 4.2.0-38 from archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux . Let me if you need me to write the detailed steps

@Sneetsher xev was the first thing I have checked and yes it is repeating. I am wondering where is this bug : indicator-sound-service, indicator-application-service ?
@Sneetsher installed ver: 12.10.2+16.04.20160406-0ubuntu1 , yes proposed are active
