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.
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
