Description Angus Thomas 2006-09-25 15:21:37 UTC

Description of problem:
I have two X sessions running. Ctrl-Alt-F7 gives me the local gnome desktop.
Ctrl-Alt-F8 is another gnome desktop, exported from a woodcrest machine via
xdmcp. When switching between them, I find that the keyboard input to the
virt-manager's virtual machine console on the woodcrest breaks in various ways.
For example, it responds as if the Alt key was constantly pressed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.2.2-1.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run two concurrent X sessions
2.Use keyboard shortcuts to switch between them
3.
  
Actual results:
Keyboard input to the virtual machine console is knackered

Expected results:
keyboard input should work as it does on a normal terminal, for example

We send VNC key events when getting  KeyPress/KeyRelease from X. So in this case
we're sending a KeyPress for the Alt & Ctrl keys, but since the final Fx key
switches to another local host console, the VNC server never gets sent the
KeyRelease events for Alt & Ctrl. So when switching back to the original host
console, the VNC server has Alt & Ctrl 'stuck' on. Looks like we need to 'reset'
key state when getting a LeaveNotify event

This issue is fixed in virt-manager-0.2.3-1.fc6 which will appear in rawhide
within the next day.
