I am running xrdp on a Fedora Linux virtual image on vCenter server and running into an issue that I am wondering is related to xrdp. The problem is that there are times when the combination of the shift key and any other letter doesn't actually send the keystrokes to the xrdp session. I can duplicate it almost consistently with typing a few characters and then backspace and immediately hitting shift and a key. The backspace happens but the shifted key doesn't show up (example trying to type ssh -X and the capital X doesn't come out after hitting a backspace). I have run the rdp client from various windows and linux desktops with the exact same problem. I have also changed the keyboard shortcut on the xrdp server side of things and fiddled with the key filters when running on the Windows client side of things. I have also searched for this scenario and there have only been a few pages that refer to this exact thing with either no workaround or mention of a patch for product that I couldn't find.
I see that some folks mention this might be network load or server load. The rest of the experience with this setup does not lead me to believe that there is excessive network load or any busy processor on the server or client side. The rest of window movement and keyboard responsiveness is actually pretty close to native. Very impressive actually. Which is why I am wondering about the shift key stroke sequence would have timing issues. Coupled with this, there are times that after this happens there is a key that is repeated many times (actually repeats until I hit some other key). I read that RDP packs up keystrokes and maybe this is the problem. The remedy was to use the key filter on the windows client side, but that doesn't solve the problem. So, I turn the developers to see if there might be some other things to try. I can provide more information if necessary, just say what you need.
