[Bug 809844] New: VNC: Arrow keys bug out after 9 strikes
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809844 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809844#c0 Summary: VNC: Arrow keys bug out after 9 strikes Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KVM AssignedTo: kvm-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: niclas_arndt@hotmail.com QAContact: jdouglas@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 The keyboard bugs out after using the arrow keys 9 times. After that, they print the letters A, B, C, and D instead of moving the cursor. Some additional keys also stop working, e.g. backspace, while others continue to work. Additionally, the keyboard gets sluggish and occasionally repeats a character until you e.g. hit ESC. The session is still stable and usable and in e.g. KWrite you can use the copy/paste functionality together with text marking to complete your editing operations. (But console is a bit tough...) Logging out and logging in "resets", until you reach the next 9 arrow strikes. So long as you avoid using the arrow keys, there is no problem. OpenSUSE 12.3 default kernel English OS with Swedish vanilla keyboard Basic VNC setup (now as user root, -rfbauth and with vncpasswd set) Both latest TightVNC Windows client and old (1.3?) standalone Windows executable behave the same. Haven't tried any other client/client OS Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hit an arrow key 9 times. 2. 3. Actual Results: Please see above. Expected Results: Move the cursor. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll try ALT GR and see if this 'resets' the key 'lock'.
I can confirm this behavior. (I thought it has to be altgr + "~", but altgr is enough) But I went the long way around. I tried to use xrdp via Xvnc (sesman-xvnc) (I am not able to compile x11rdp or to find any binary package) I will try the package from comment#4 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

From then on, "backspace" does not work.
I don't have the unix technical skills to rebuild Xvn as suggested in the bug report. I could manually install a prebuilt binary if one were available to test. I'd just rename /usr/bin/Xvnc and put in the test version and test that I can do in just a few mins if I can get a replacement Xvnc. Please advise.
