test fails in gedit with duplicated characters, transient Leap15.2 ppc64le

two identified occurrences:

• Build 71.2: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1141177#step/gedit/5 "If you can see thisss text gedit is working"
• Build 82.2: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1151684#step/gedit/6 "If you can see this text gedddit is working"

I assume root cause is the handling of queue by qemu when Host is overloaded.

Suggestions¶

A bypass (masking root problem) may be to patch "enter_test_text" to force slow typing for PowerPC
