Bug ID: 477981 Summary: SHIFT key can get stuck when using the session remotely Classification: Applications Product: krfb Version: 23.08.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: grundleb...@googlemail.com Reporter: eduardosanchezmu...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY SHIFT key can get stuck when using the session remotely. When that happens, every click and key stroke (local or remote) is handled as if SHIFT was pressed, making the session almost unusable. Closing Krfb does not fix it. A log out or reboot is required to unstuck the key. At this point, if the session gets locked, it will be impossible to unlock (unless your password can be typed with SHIFT pressed) and VT switching will not work, so the only way out is pulling the plug to reset the PC. There are two ways this can happen: a. Randomly after using the remote session for a while b. Disconnecting the VNC client with SHIFT pressed STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch Krfb 2. Connect from another PC with a VNC client 3. Close the VNC client with SHIFT pressed, or just use the the remote desktop for a while OBSERVED RESULT The SHIFT key gets stuck on the PC running Krfb. EXPECTED RESULT The SHIFT key should not get stuck.
