This has been fixed in trunk and branches/1.2.x, and there's a new stable build up at http://virtualgl.sourceforge.net/vnc.nightly/ that incorporates the fix. I would ask Brian to review my patch (r5841 in trunk or r5842 in the 1.2.x branch -- http://virtualgl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/virtualgl/vnc/trunk/java/com/turbovnc/vncviewer/CConn.java?r1=5841&r2=5840&pathrev=5841) It is based on the logic from the 1.1 Java viewer. The basic problem involved the fact that the RFB protocol doesn't have button press or release events per se. It has one PointerEvent, which is used for motion as well as button presses/releases. The server monitors the button mask in each successive PointerEvent, and if it notices that the mask changes, it issues the appropriate button press or release events to the X server.
The 1.2 Java viewer had flawed logic. It was always setting the button mask to 0 whenever a mouse button was released, so it didn't save the state of the previous button press. Thus, the server interpreted that PointerEvent as "release all buttons." I found a similar problem that would occur if you held down a button and then activated the scroll wheel. That has also been fixed by the same patch. On 9/26/13 2:59 PM, Rafael Guimaraes wrote: > Hi DRC, > > I have just detected a strange behavior when using TurboVNC 1.2 client > as an applet.
