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.
