Dear Maintainer,

since the upgrade from bookworm to trixie short button presses are
delayed until you press another (incl. the same) button. Long presses are
handled as they should.

This is not a problem of the lirc client, it is visible both in irw and
in an strace of lircd, there you can see the event being written right
after the select returns, without any read in between.

Workaround: downgrading to the version in bookworm fixes it.

I use an old Hauppauge remote with a serial receiver.
