I have tried connecting with the TightVNC viewer, and I get similar results. The shift key does work on most alpha keys (a, b, c, ), and even on the key with (, <). However, on the (not keypad, but above alpha keys) numeric keys, shift has no effect. Pressing the (2,@) key produces "2" no matter what the state of the shift key is. Additionally, I just figured out the following behavior: press the key labeled (2,@). As before, SHIFT+that key does not produce "@" (neither left nor right SHIFT key). However, when I press down the (2,@) key long enough for the automatic repeat to come one, then, while continuing to hold down the key, either left or right SHIFT produces the symbol "@", correctly. Andy, see if it does this for you, too. This is true for both TightVNC and RealVNC. up2date Fedora Core 3, using the GNOME remote desktop. The clients are on Windows XP.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I have been trying to use vino for remote access to my X session from Windows. I can connect successfully, but the shift key does not seem to have any effect when typing in a gnome-terminal on the remote desktop - so no upper case characters or pipe (|) symbols can be typed, for example. I have also tried using Caps Lock but that doesn't work either. Needless to say this makes many UNIX operations a chore, or impossible. No special configuration, although I wasn't entirely sure what I needed to do to enable remote access. I have the vnc packages installed along with vino. VNC is set to run in runlevel 5. I have enabled remote access with password authentication using the Remote Access preference in GNOME. This could be a vncserver problem, or an issue with the client, I'm not sure. I have run RealVNC 3.x and 4.x on the Windows side with the same results. I've tried connecting from different Windows client machines. I've also tried using various config options on the client side (send keyboard events, etc). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure remote access in GNOME 2. Connect using a Windows VNC client (RealVNC) 3. Attempt to type some characters in a terminal in uppercase using the Shift key. Actual Results: Characters appear in lower case. Additional info:
