Hi. It will be interesting to see if you get any response. I'm working with another customer which will deploy FreeRDP in ThinLinc later this year, and I know that there are some outstanding issues, for example wrt keyboard. I will take a look at some of the problems in a few weeks, let's keep in contact.

Hi All, My understanding is that this is the correct place to ask for some support advice with FreeRDP. If i'm in the wrong spot, please let me know and I'll post to the appropriate location. I've been working on deploying thin client solution using Cendio Thinlinc, which typically uses rdesktop to establish connections with a Windows session host. On advice from their devs, I've adjusted Thinlinc to connect to Windows with FreeRDP instead because of the superior multiple monitor support in FreeRDP. Since switching from rdesktop to FreeRDP, the period key on the numeric keypad (US keyboard) has stopped functioning. Numlock itself works fine, as do all of the keypad numbers once numlock is engaged. Also, the key in question works as a delete key (as expected) with numlock disengaged, but with numlock engaged the period doesn't work. All other keys on the keyboard work as expected. I've recreated this outside of Thinlinc. From Ubuntu 18 Desktop, establishing a FreeRDP session directly to Windows 2016 has the same result. I have tried version 1 and version 2 builds of FreeRDP including the nightlies. Through some digging I've found some information about the differences between how keyboards are handled by rdesktop and FreeRDP, as well as some mentions of making adjustments with XKB, but I am unsure where to start. Is this numeric keypad period issue a bug in FreeRDP or is this a case of there being something i need to tweak in ubuntu or the Windows terminal server? Any advice would be very greatly appreciated!
