Hello to all,

I found a small, but at least irritating and annoying issue when using the
tigervncviewer together with a tigervncserver.

What happens from time to time is that special character input (like backspace
and mouse clicks) are blocked. The way out of this situation is to press once
the AltGr key and then everything is fine again.  Looking deeper into that,
one finds that this lockup happens when using the arrow-key "Left".  Using xev
one can see, that while pressing the "Left" key, not only this key is pressed
and released, but from time to time also the "ISO_Level3_Shift", but
unfortunately onle pressed, not released!
This is even independent from the keyboard rate, e.g. set to 1/s via "xset r 
rate
300 1". The frequency of pressed "Left" on the client-computer is arriving at
the tightvnc-server and are converted to "ISO_Level3_Shift".
Up to now I only found this effect when using the "Left" key.
This happens with tigervncviewer 1.2, from the binary from sourceforge, or
compiled from the sources (release 1.2) and also from the newest sources 
cloned from SVN repo https://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tigervnc
g...@github.com:michaeltraxler/tigervnc.git

It does not happen with a tightvnc-viewer on a tigervnc-server and also not
with tiger-vncviewer on a tightvnc-server.

The tigervncserver I'm using is the xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.6_1.0.1-3.1.1.src.rpm from
OpenSuSE 12.3.

Any hints how to turn off this quite disturbing issue, as I "always" have to
press AltGr to continue work.
Any recommended workaround/hack?

Thanks a lot,

Michael
