Description Martin Zbořil 2015-01-27 11:38:39 UTC
KRDC
Version 4.14.1
Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.1

on local system I have set czech qwertz keyboard layout, remote windows 2012 server recieves input with as with r_alt key pressed which is not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have czech qwertz keyboard, open connection to a remote machine
2. open a text editor or shell and start typing
3. get the junk text

Actual Results:  
[&}[]

Expected Results:  
ifconfig

there is no way arround it, if r_alt is pressed additional modfications are received.
this renders vnc unusable

Can you reproduce this issue also when entering text in other tools on the remote server? Could you try another keyboard layout? Could you try to connect to another VNC server and check if you can reproduce this issue?

Since you are using a windows server, you could also try to connect with RDP (just as a workaround).

Hello Urs, yes remmina works fine and also shares clipboard.
sorry for letting you wait this long.

Speaking of waits it's certainly been a while since this was last looked at.

Martin, can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.

i opened this bug more than 5 years ago and don't have to use this application anymore (and this experience didn't exactly convince me to bother further)
so you can close it if you feel like the info i gave you isn't sufficient...

i found another way to test some weirdness in krdc by connecting to a second kde session via krfb session where i set US keyboard while having CZ keyboard on krdc, then i pressed top line of keys (which are in US keyboard as follows: `1234567890-= in CZ they are as: ;+ěščřýžýáíé=´)
i get this: +23456ýáíé= (´ doesn't work via krdc/krfb)
