It's barely noticeable in gvim, more noticeable when sending the keystrokes over a slow connection (eg., remote SSH) — annoying, then, in fact. Yes, I know it is bad form to hold down those keys, but still, I didn't notice Vim doing that before recently.

Any idea about this? It's still happening as of patch 1746. On a remote, slow connection (for visibility), where file is something that Vim has a syntax definition for (again, for visibility), and large enough to scroll up and down for a few moments:

vim -Nu NONE -c 'set showcmd' -c 'syntax on' file

Hold j or k down long enough that Vim has to scroll the file (not just move the cursor). For me, "j"/"k" flickers in the showcmd area.
