I have updated my client and server to latest available ebuild in gentoo, which
seems to be 1.2.80. The problem is that certain key combinations issued from
client are not being generated correctly on the server. For example,
ctrl-shift-t creates a new tab in konsole. This is broken if I connect from a
1.2.80 client. It works from clients which are 1.2.0.
Using xev, I see that 't' is show correctly when pressed by itself but is shown
as "" when ctrl and shift are also pressed. The byte value is 74 in one case
and 14 in the other.
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001,
root 0x10e, subw 0x0, time 14936883, (68,130), root:(1790,913),
state 0x0, keycode 28 (keysym 0x74, t), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (74) "t"
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001,
root 0x10e, subw 0x0, time 14939886, (68,130), root:(1790,913),
state 0x0, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001,

state 0x1, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,

KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001,

state 0x5, keycode 255 (keysym 0x1000014, (no name)), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (14) ""
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (14) ""
XFilterEvent returns: False
The first is 't' pressed by itself. The last sequence is supposed to be
ctrl-shift-t.
I have a problem with 'ctrl' in general over VNC. For example, if I am inside
vmware console window, ctrl-c is does not work. Anything involving ctrl does
not work. As soon as I move to 1.2.0 vncviewer, the problems vanish.
Any ideas? Is anybody else seeing this issue?
Thanks,
