So far I have not seen it to occur without me leaning on keys, but it
could be that it only happens on say 1/100 key presses, as opposed to
when the key rate is high. I don't use text-mode menus normally.

You mean I can replace "lean on the down key, lean on the up key, lean
on the down key" with just "down, up, down"?
If so, I'll give it a go later on.
