Description szt 2011-06-03 20:50:40 UTC
Description of problem:

Using two Fedora based computers with en_US language environment and default Hungarian keyboard layout on both. synergy-plus runs as server on F14, where the user environment is gnome + compiz + emerald. synergy-plus runs as client on F15, where the user environment is gnome-shell. Using the synergy server's keyboard on the synergy client machine the keyboard layout switches to US and can't switch back to Hungarian. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

synergy-plus-1.3.4-6.fc14.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Setup an F14 and F15 based computer, both x86_64, $LANG=en_US.UTF-8, default keyboard as Hungarian. Update all packages on both computer to the latest.

2. Install synergy-plus and quicksynergy on both. 

3. Using quicksynergy on both computer set up F14 as synergy server and F15 as synergy client. Start synergy on both computer.

4. Work with the server keyboard, and check the layout on both side. Pressing the öüóőúéáű keys on the server, 0-=[];'\ characters appears on client.

5. Reconfigure synergy: use F15 as server and F14 as client. 

6. Work with the server keyboard, and check the layout on the client side. The keyboard switches to US layout, but works differ. i.e. pressing "é" then "e$" appears instead of ";" or pressing "á" then "a$" appears instead of "'".

Actual results:

The keyboard layout on the synergy client switches to US, and can't switch back to Hungarian.

Expected results:

The keyboard layout on the synergy client is Hungarian.

Additional info:

In case of a firewall enable TCP port 24800.

Synergy worked well until a 'yum update' on Fedora 15. The attached file contains the yum.log excerpt of the yum session after that the symptoms occured first.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:01:26 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
