That's already a hint.

Sure, usually we can use 'xset r on' without experiencing an issue.
Anyway, if the issue disappears for you, if it's set to "off", this
could help troubleshooting.

I agree that xev not necessarily is helpful.

IIRC a terminal by Ctrl+Alt+Fx isn't affected, but if you open GUI
a terminal emulation, you experiencing this issue?!

Just for this terminal emulation? If so, which one? Or for all GUIs?
