Ubuntu 12. Do you think it is related to the ide or moreso to
The bootloader that came with the board ?

It seems my Leonardo waits 8 seconds before running a loaded sketch upon repowering even though the docs say that if a sketch is present the bootloader will load it right away.  Does anyone know how to avoid this ? I read that perhaps there is bug in the bootloader for the Leo on this.  Can anyone confirm or let me know some workaround.

Thanks

Dave
