Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, the shift keys behaved incorrectly on Windows machines accessed with virt-viewer. When both shift keys were pressed at the same time and then released, Windows sent only one release key event, causing the SPICE client to think the other shift key is still pressed, and the guest to input capital letters. This has been fixed so GDK sends an extra release event so that both shift keys are released, and guest input is as expected.	Story Points:	---

Description Tim Speetjens 2014-12-01 09:14:02 UTC

Description of problem:
Shift key behaviour is incorrect when pressing both left and right shift key together.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mingw virt-viewer 0.6.0

How reproducible:
Open a virt-viewer console from a windows workstation (to ex. a RHEL guest)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press and hold left shift
2. Type a few letters: these are in caps
3. Press and hold right shift
4. Release left shift
5. Type a few letters: these are in caps
6. Release right shift
7. Type a few letters : these are also in caps, despite not holding down any shift key

Actual results:
As described in step 7: characters are in uppercase, when no shift key is pressed

Expected results:
Characters should be in lowercase

Additional info:
This issue exists in the mingw version of the viewer, but is not present on the gtk version.

Comment 1 Tim Speetjens 2014-12-01 09:16:44 UTC

Also, the same can be observed when doing the same, but exchanging left and right shift keys:

1. Press and hold right shift
2. Type a few letters: these are in caps
3. Press and hold left shift
4. Release right shift
5. Type a few letters: these are in caps
6. Release left shift
7. Type a few letters : these are also in caps, despite not holding down any shift key

upstream bug 77259. imho, prio/severity could be low.

What is the status of this issue?

> What is the status of this issue?

We depend on a upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751721
If it gets accepted there, the patch will be backported for the mingw-gtk package and included in the next build.
