closed[tools]Missing characters in the middle of type_string/assert_script_run (Ninja Keys)

Description
observation¶
While running jobs on certain machines, sometimes there are tests that are failing with characters missing in the middle of a string.
steps to reproduce¶
Review tests that are failing, most tests where type_string is used, can create this problem.
problem¶
H1 Asset loading through NFS might cause delays in response of the SUT.
H2 Key events are not reaching the qemu at all
H3 Key events are reaching the qemu, qemu processes the event, and it reaches the qeue, but not the SUT itself (they are not reaching X).
suggestion¶
Example of failing jobs¶
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/805748#step/gedit/4
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/795241#step/sshxterm/5
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/796232#step/gnome_terminal/7
workaround¶
Retrigger the job.

If I understood correctly the following two things are supposed to have fixed this issue
os-autoinst change https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/743

Make it possible to define slow typing machines (#743)
After a lot of forth and back, setting this to 10 is the only cure
for power and arm :(
with defining VNC_TYPING_LIMIT=10 in https://openqa.suse.de/admin/machines for aarch64 and ppc64le machines
plus also os-autoinst-distri-opensuse change https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/2577

Add an explicit run of the cron jobs (#2577)
Our data shows pretty clear that the tests type much more unreliable
around the time the first cron.weekly is called (*/15) - and it's
believed that the btrfs maintenance is killing responsiveness
as described in boo#1017461 (and others). So better run these
cron jobs at a given time to avoid random tests becoming unreproducible

Reappeared for aarch64 : https://openqa.suse.de/tests/942993#step/yast2_lan_restart/309
in assert_script_run method.
After assert_script_run 'dig suse.com|grep \'status: NOERROR\''; call, "." is missing in the console.

Closing because it's not related, this needs another ticket specific for aarch64
