Description of problem: If you turn on the "Locate Pointer" feature in mouse preferences, it will cause vnc viewer sessions to interpret control keys as non-control keys. So pressing "ctrl-c" in a terminal window, will produce the letter "c". Ctrl-X in xemacs will produce the letter "x" in the editor, and so forth. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Desktop -> Preferences -> Mouse 2. Select the "Cursors" tab 3. Check the "Locate Pointer" checkbox. 4. Go into vncviewer, control a remote session 5. Open a terminal session and at the command prompt, press ctrl-c. Actual results: The command prompt gives you a "c". For example, you'll see: [root@void ~]# c Expected results: Another prompt should appear. For example, you should see: [root@void ~]# [root@void ~]#
