System Information
Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome / Xorg)
Graphics card: Radeon RX 5700 XT

Blender Version
Broken: 3.3 , 3.2 release
Worked: 3.1
Caused by 102644cb8c

Short description of error

When touch-typing rapidly, entering certain words will often result in dropped key presses. I discovered this issue while using the Python console; entering "data" would more often than not result in "dat" appearing in the console.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Select a text field in the interface, such that typing will produce text. Text fields tested include the Python Console, the Text Editor, and renaming an object in the Outliner after double-clicking it.
Rapidly perform the following exact sequence of key events. In testing, the bug occurs every time if I complete the sequence in less than about half a second (easy to do using one hand for A and the other for T):
Press down the A key
Press down the T key
Release the A key (T is still pressed)
Press down the A key again (T is still pressed)

Expected result: "ata" appears in the text field.

Actual result: "at" appears in the text field. Again, this is 100% consistent when performed rapidly.

Other notes

Any choice of two keys produces the issue, e.g., "ege."

I know this may sound like a niche issue, but in testing, if I type "data" the way I naturally do into the Python Console, the bug is triggered much more than half of the time. No other software I use rejects the second press of "A" in this way.

It's a regression and we've already received two similar reports so I'm raising the priority for now
