KeyHit not working as intended.

I've noticed that when using window->KeyHit() if you hold down the key, the function will keep returning true. My solution for this problem is to poll the input events myself but that's not an ideal solution. 

Hold down the space key in this example and it should rapidly change the panel's colors.

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    //Get the displays
    auto displays = GetDisplays();

    //Create windows
    auto window = CreateWindow("Leadwerks", 0, 0, 800, 600, displays[0]);

    //Create user interface
    auto ui = CreateInterface(window);

    while (true)
    {
        if (window->KeyHit(KEY_SPACE))
        {
            ui->root->SetColor(Random(1.0f), Random(1.0f), Random(1.0f), 1);
        }

        const Event ev = WaitEvent();
        switch (ev.id)
        {
        case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE:
            return 0;
            break;
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

When I run this example and hold down the space key the window color only changes once.

I'll do more investigating. I'm just recalling a bug I encountered in my project but there was also a quite a bit going on.
