Description Soukyuu 2015-03-01 23:42:52 UTC

Enabling "grab keys" then restarting krdc still shows the function as enabled, but it is not

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open VNC session
2. enable "grab keys"
3. press F12 to open yakuake: remote yakuake opens
4. restart krdc - "grab keys" still appears to be enabled
5. press F12 again

Actual Results:  
Local yakuake opens even though krdc window is in focus and "grab keys" is activated in the UI

Expected Results:  
Remote yakuake should open as long as krdc has focus

Both sides are using up-to-date arch linux x64, connecting via VNC. You can enable "grab keys" by disabling then enabling it again. It will work for the VNC session, but functionality is lost again once you close krdc - with GUI still showing it as enabled.

Forgot to mention, version is 14.4.5 according to about->krdc

Comment 2 Soukyuu 2015-05-02 12:07:33 UTC

Tested with RDP as well now, there grab keys doesn't seem to work after re-focusing the window. I have to disconnect and reconnect to the session to make it work again.

Is krdc being maintained at all or am I better off looking for alternatives?
