Fix "over-running" of repeated commands on slow machines.
                                                                               I do this with the same sort of strategy as we employed for the scroll on vertical scroll commnads.

I put in a one-shot idle loop handler into ap_EditMethods. When
frequently repeated events like those from left-arrow, right-arrow,
delete or backspace keys, I start the idle loop timer set a call back to
the code that actually implements the left/right/delete etc.
This also locks out the GUI controls. I then return.

All commands to AbiWord are dropped until the idle handler that
implements the left-arrow,right-arrow etc is run. This prevents these
vents from queueing up and stops the caret over-running where the user
wants to put it.

Cheers

Martin
