I connect from one windows pc to another with vnc, login in successfully and, say, open a folder. I then click once on the title bar of that folder window, and it loses focus - it greys out. After that, nothing I do with the mouse via vnc after that brings focus back. I can move the mouse around, but clicking to bring focus to any object on the desktop fails. No right-click of menus, nothing. This seems to consistently happen immediately upon connecting to the server. In other words, this happens the first time I click to put focus on an object after connecting. What's especially interesting is that when I go directly to the pc I'm connected to (the server), and use the local mouse that is plugged into it, the same condition exists - I can move the mouse around, but cannot select any objects or get any right-click menus. The viewer is doing something to mouse function on the server. The only thing I've found that brings back focus is pressing Alt+Tab a few times on the keyboard. This works using either the keyboard connected to the vnc server, or the keyboard of the pc running the viewer. This somehow restores the "focusing mechanism" so that, using the directly connected mouse and thru vnc, I can again select objects using the mouse. If I disonnect and reconnect, it happens all over again the first time I try to click to put focus on an object. I have four windows pc's at home, all running the same exact version of vnc (4.1.2), but with slight different os's (winxp sp2, winxp sp1, windows 2000 sp4). I've seen this phenomenon happen when connecting from any one to another. Though I haven't been able to prove it, I think the issue lies with the viewer software. One thing I haven't had a chance to explore too much is using the viewer on linux. I have a linux box that, so far, I haven't experienced this issue with when connecting to any of the windows pcs. The viewer version on linux is v4. I've tried methods other than Alt-Tab to restore the ability to restore "focus", including remotely stopping and restarting the vnc server service, sending Ctl-Alt-Delete keystrokes to the server via the viewer. Neither of those work. Does this ring a bell with anyone? - James __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
