Well, i dunno if I'm right here, but i have a similar problem in Fedora 12. Sometimes the keys are stuck until i press them again. I have noticed this with the ctrl, alt and w-a-s-d keys. As a small workaround i tried to turn off the key-press-repeat in the keyboard preferences under Gnome. I unchecked the box "Key presses repeat when key is hold down". But this works only until the next reboot. The box stays unchecked but the keys can repeat again after a reboot. I dunno which informations or details i could provide to solve this problem. :( Looks like it's fixed here, but dunno why :) (In reply to comment #2) > Looks like it's fixed here, but dunno why :) Would it be possible to tell me which version of tigervnc are you using, please?

Sorry, i had this problem in general not with vnc. :( tigervnc-1.0.1-1.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tigervnc-1.0.1-1.fc12 tigervnc-1.0.1-1.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update tigervnc'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tigervnc-1.0.1-1.fc12 I am seeing multiple misbehaviours of the control and shift key under F12; no VNC involved. 1. Autorepeating a control character, say Ctrl-P to go up in emacs, it will work for some number of characters and then forget that the control key is pressed and start inserting "p"s into my buffer 2. Hold down control and press a character, say Ctrl-C to terminate a command. Release both control and c. Most times the next character I type will be treated correctly but occasionally it, and any subsequent keys I press, will be interpreted as their control equivalent. The only way to fix it is to type the same character (in this case Ctrl-C) as started the problem. 3. Same as 2, but with shift Happens with two different keyboards Does not happen under F11 (on the same hardware) tigervnc-1.0.1-1.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
