The difference is whether I start mark region (by hitting "ctrl+space")
before moving cursor. The client will only stuck if I first start mark
region and then hold cursor-moving keys like "ctrl+n" or "ctrl+p" for a few
seconds.

 I tried "xev -event keyboard" in a XFCE session and did not observe any
missing keystrokes.
