Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rdesktop
Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) with latest updates
I connect to remote host (Windows XP Pro with latest updates) using
tsclient. v0.148 Switch of keyboard layout on Windows is binded to Alt-
Shift.
While connected, the switch of keyboard layout via Alt-Shift is possible
only at a logon screen. Further on, this functionality does not work.
Press Alt-Shift and it will look like the Alt key is kept pressed (the
menus that a binded on Alt-letter combinations are starting to fly
around). But it is not possible to actually switch keyboard layout on
remote host.
This behavior is observed in rdesktop-1.4.1 and in rdesktop 1.5.0 (built
from official sources and checkinstall-ed) as well.
Workaround: Assign switch of Keyboard layout to Ctrl-Shift on the remote
host (not really convenient).
** Affects: rdesktop (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
