Xpra: Ticket #164: Shift key not working with some specific keys

Hello,

The shift key is not working with a subset of key. For example if I press shift + i, i have a lower i, not an upper i.

Keys affected are : e,r,i,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,c,v.

I would suspect a conflict with some specific command. I have the problem with java based application (matlab) and gtk (gedit).

I'm running xpra 0.3.3.

Thanks Sylvain

Please add details, like:

etc ... So I can reproduce the exact same setup.

Does this also happen with 0.3.2 or is this a regression?

I suspect #109 and r942 may have caused this...

It seems like a regression, 0.3.2 works.

$ setxkbmap -query
Error!   Option "-query" not recognized
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"     };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

Nothing is specific on my keyboard.

I have the same problem with xpra 0.3.3, when connecting from a windows client. If attaching on the same machine (client == server, Ubuntu Lucid) everything works.

Just like to add that other key modifiers (ctrl, alt) are also not working with these keys.

Downgrading to xpra 0.3.2 fixes these issues for me.

I believe this is fixed in both 0.3.4 and 0.4.0

Feel free to re-open if not.

I confirm that this is working with 0.4.0.

Thank you Sylvain
