Description Jonathan Kamens 2010-06-14 15:11:56 UTC
Using VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.3 on Windows 7, talking to tigervnc server in current Fedora 13, when I am typing into an Emacs window in my VNC session and hit alt-shift-!, my keyboard wedges and I can't type any more input into the VNC session, and I can't find any way to unwedge it, even by disconnecting and opening a new VNC session.

Comment 1 Jonathan Kamens 2010-06-14 15:13:21 UTC
Does not happen with Vino server.

Comment 2 Adam Tkac 2010-06-14 15:25:55 UTC
Which version of tigervnc-server package do you use?

Comment 3 Jonathan Kamens 2010-06-14 18:51:24 UTC
I am using the server module.

jik2:~/public_html!1027$ rpm -q tigervnc-server-module
tigervnc-server-module-1.0.90-0.11.20100420svn4030.fc13.x86_64

Comment 4 Kai.Fan 2010-06-22 16:17:28 UTC
do you have ibus installed? If so, is there any Input-method activated when you press alt-shift?

Comment 5 Jonathan Kamens 2010-06-22 17:49:08 UTC
I do have ibus, but alt-shift isn't bound to anything.  I have alt-capslock bound to switching keyboard layouts (in my case from USA to Isr), but like I said, alt-shift doesn't do anything.  I can hit alt-shift-! on the console and through vino with no trouble.

Comment 6 Adam Tkac 2010-09-02 11:59:38 UTC
Can you test http://atkac.fedorapeople.org/tigervnc/tigervnc-server-module-1.0.90-0.13.20100420svn4030.fc13.1.x86_64.rpm, please? Although I
haven't reproduced this bug, in theory this package should fix this issue.
Thank you in advance.

Comment 7 Jonathan Kamens 2010-09-02 12:39:51 UTC
The problem is still there, but now it's intermittent. When I type Alt-Shift-! date RET into Emacs repeatedly when remotely connected to the X server through the tigervnc server module, eventually the server gets into a confused state (I think the Alt modifier gets stuck on) and the only way for me to unconfuse it is to log out so the X server restarts (which is somewhat difficult to do when the Alt modifier is stuck on, of course).

Comment 8 Adam Tkac 2010-09-24 13:07:50 UTC
I've just created improved patch for this issue, can you please test http://atkac.fedorapeople.org/tigervnc/tigervnc-server-module-1.0.90-0.15.20100420svn4030.fc13.1.x86_64.rpm? Thank you in advance.

Ok, another attempt:

Can you please check if this package is fine?
