Michael Jumper reassigned GUACAMOLE-206:
----------------------------------------
Assignee: Michael Jumper
> Alt key combinations broken in SSH and telnet
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-206
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SSH, Telnet, Terminal
> Reporter: Michael Jumper
> Assignee: Michael Jumper
> Priority: Critical
>
> Apparently, ever since Guacamole had SSH support, handling of the Alt key has
> been broken. Roughly four years ago, support for the Alt key was added
> through the following block of code:
> {code:none}
> /* If alt being held, also send escape character */
> if (term->mod_alt)
> return guac_terminal_send_string(term, "\x1B");
> {code}
> This is a clear logic error. Because of that return, this block doesn't
> "also" send anything; it bails out of the keyboard handling prior to actually
> sending the key pressed.
> ... Sorry emacs folks.
