I am aware that there is a bug, a 12 or 13 year old bug, that exists on Linux and probably other Unix based systems, that certain ways of detecting when a key is pressed or released do not function the way one would expect. I am also aware there are a few ways around this and I have gone so far to attempt to implement this solution that can be viewed here: http://stackoverflow.../4679195/596359

The problem is that this does not seem to fix anything. The first question someone will ask I believe I can anticipate. I placed this code in a ".java" file named "RepeatingKeyEventsFixer.java". This file is in "../src/com/example/". To use it in my code I have put the following lines at the beginning of my main() method:

RepeatingKeyEventsFixer repeatingkeyeventsfixer = new RepeatingKeyEventsFixer();
repeatingkeyeventsfixer.install();

Still, when I press down a key, it tells me it's being pressed down and held, but it will also say it is being released with just about the same frequency. Does anyone have any idea what I may have done wrong? I have also posted this on StackExchange with poor results. I'll post the link here in case the way I phrased things there could help any more: http://stackoverflow.../8948238/596359

The following code is the code I am using to test if a key has been released or not. I appreciate the time any takes to consider my question.

addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
		processKey(e);
	}
	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent g){
		processKeyReleased(g);
	}
}
...
private void processKeyReleased(KeyEvent g){
	int keyCode = g.getKeyCode();
	if(!isPaused && !gameOver){
		if(keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT || keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){
			System.out.println("released");
			player.stopLooping();
		}
	}
}
