No key-repeat on long key-press after switching tty

[oddfellow]

Describe the bug
Since 0.25.2: When switching to another tty and back with CTRL-ALT-Fx, long key presses don't repeat the key anymore. Closing and reopening kitty fixes it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch sway on TTY1
2. Launch kitty: long keypresses repeat the key
3. Switch to TTY2 with CTRL-ALT-F2
4. Switch back with CTRL-ALT-F1
5. Long keypresses do not repeat the keys

I also had this issue with Kitty version 0.25.2 and can confirm that I haven't had a problem since instaling the nightly version, thanks @kovidgoyal.
