Eeek, this is a bit serious but I can't recreate that here. Sounds what's described later in #44275 though. Seems to come from one of the more recent changes I made, so would you mind doing a quick bisect session for me?
Before that you should make sure you're not holding the key by any chance, since we had to hardcode the stickies that will be used by the Pie Add-on holding down Tab does currently nothing, only clicking/tapping it should toggle.
Setting to "Normal" for now, but should be raised if it can't be resolved quickly and more people are affected.

It was still normal with the build package of a1c2b1a8a8.

There's a noticeable lag pressing Tab for edit mode and so now compared to 2.74 official. I assume because it's waiting for the release event, this feels considerably less "snappy" to me. I dont like it.

@OliverBurn Check Sticky Keys Click Timeout under Preferences > Input. I find you can lower it to about 170 without problems.

Or you can change the Tab to be press, not click. No pies then, and no lag.

@PawelLyczkowski-1, unfortunately changing the Click Timeout doesn't help here, changing this means just the key release has to happen earlier.

Just a follow-up on the later report on #44275.

Thanks, that's fixed here too.

I dont use Pies. I dont want sticky keys. How about making this thing a user preference to "opt-in" on, instead of a forced feature.

I dont want to sounds like a negative nancy Julian, it's just this is going to affect everyone and they've already started to notice.

Severin said that it did not have a meaning to change Sticky Keys Click Timeout, but Tab key came to react even if I had been pushing the key for a long time to some extent if I raised a value of Click Timeout so that plyczkowski said.

version 2.74 (sub 4), branch b'master', commit date b'2015-04-07' b'01:25', hash b'9510137', b'Release'

There was sometimes time not to react with the existing value.

Hmm, now "loop cut and slide" (ctrl+r) is kinda broken.

Previously you would click once for selecting the desired loop, then you could slide the new loop until you clicked again to confirm.

Now it "confirms" on first click, making it useless.

Can be mitigated somewhat by setting the event to "release", but then you have to hold click to slide, and release to confirm. (need to retrain muscle memory for that)

Seems the "opt-in" suggested above is not such a bad idea.

P.S. slide is similarly broken too
