WoW character Model freezes

Hey everyone,
First off, I came from xp to ubuntu 2 days ago, and since then I have had tons of problems getting my addiction (WoW) to work lol.
Until I came across CrossOver Games. My framerate has jumped from 30-40 to around 60-70 using this :D
My only problem is that my characters model freezes. But this ONLY happens when moving with W,A,S,D, if I hold down both buttons on my mouse to move it works fine.
What I mean by freezes is that the character will be moving around in a motion like his feet are frozen in place with one foot on the ground and one foot in the air.

The position that the character is in here, is what he will me moving around like.. just frozen like that, until I let go of W,A,S or D.
Now I dont know much but I'm sure the addons arnt a problem becuase I havent even got around to putting them back on since I just got this working like 20 mins ago lol.

Thanks for any help in advance :P

PS. The weird line changing the colours a bit on the picture arnt there on my screen? lol so dont worry about that

I guess you have turned on some kind of Key Repetition (which can be turned off in the keyboard settings of the desktop environment you use). This essentially causes your keys to be "hammered" instead of being pushed down. So the game doesn't receive you pressing W once, but you pressing W like W-W-W-W-W-W-W-.... and so on. Just turn off that key repetition, and it should work.

Andreas,
I thank you SO much :)
googles what you told me to do:
System>Preferences>Keyboard, And I unchecked the repeat keys on the first tab, right away problem fixed :P
Again thanks.!
