Hi,
I just tested it with a german keyboard. All the number keys on the
keypad produce the correct numbers. I'm using the native Windows viewer
and the server version 2.2.3 like Kimmo too. I see only one little
difference: The del key on the keypad labeled with a comma for num lock
on produces a comma under the local Windows OS and a period point on the
remote host with the TurboVNC server. For your info: In german language
the period point is a comma. All other keypad keys do what they should
do. And the cursor control functions with num lock off also work fine.
Best regards
Torsten

I can't reproduce the issue, even with a Finnish keyboard layout on
the client. Weird.

Hello,
I didn't find any post on this issue so I thought this might be useful for
somebody strugling with the keypad numbers not being recognized correctly on
the server side.
I noticed the keypad numbers (with num lock on) were recognized as regular
numerical keys (on the top row of the keyboard) on the server side. I checked
this with 'xev'. This is not an issue in most cases but for example with
Blender there is a difference between the numerical keys and numpad keys.
I was able to fix this issue by opening 'Onboard' (on-screen-keyboard) in VNC
session on Mate desktop. By first inserting some keypad number with the
'Onboard' (with num lock on) the keypad keys entered from the client side
physical keyboard were recognized correctly as KP_X keys. The keypad keys were
recognized correctly even after server side reboot.
The same behaviour was observed with four different systems with Ubuntu 16.04
and 18.04. The Mate desktop environment and lightdm was used in all cases. All
the keyboards used in the testing had Finnish layout but I'm not sure if that
has anything to do with this issue. The viewer was the non-Java Windows version
and the TurboVNC server version was 2.2.3.
Great software regardless of this issue.
