I apologize if this has been asked/answered... I searched and found nothing. When I remote console quite often every 50 or so keystrokes the keystroke is repeated 15 times... i think in esx there is a parameter I can manipulate regarding keyboard delay... Has anyone else seen/fixed this?

Which type of console are you using (noVNC, Spice or Xterm.js), and are you connecting to a container or a VM? What operating system is running inside? Does it make any difference what OS you have inside, or when you switch the console you use to connect?
noVNC... connected to an Ubuntu 18.04 VM... It's a 'desktop' version and it's running GNOME. I believe I have never seen it when consoled to an ubuntu server and no gui.... Generally I haven't tried another OS with a GUI like that... didn't occur to me to try spice or maybe a diff desktop.
FWIW, I'm seeing something very similar to this with noVNC console on PVI 5.1-51 and Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) VM with all updates.
When attempting to login on the noVNC console, I can type the username at the "hostname login:" prompt, but as soon as I press Enter, and start typing the password, extraneous Enter is pressed (so that if I type quickly, I see part of the password below the Password: prompt before the next login prompt. At that point, the login and password prompts act like they're receiving characters even though I don't type anything.
This repeats until the getty respawns the login.
An 18.04 box installed 80 days ago (and idle since -- without any reboots) doesn't exhibit this problem.
An 18.04 box installed just now does. I have tried "default", "vga", and "spice" for the Display type.
Both VMs are on the same hypervisor. I have not tried upgrading PVE yet.
If it matters, the VM displays this error on boot (the 80-day-old VM doesn't): "error: no video mode activated". This may not be related.

Can you potentially figure out through the dpkg.log (or potentially better, the log of the package frontend you use) which packages have been updated in that timeframe, to narrow it down? Then it could be submitted to ubuntu directly.
