dup *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 400520 *** While most of the symptoms are similar, this is not a duplicate of 400520. The options posted as possible workarounds (-kb/+kb) do not exist for tightvnc's Xvnc program. In fact, none of the solution or workaround information in 400520 is applicable to tightvnc as far as I can see.

In fact, none of the solution or workaround > information in 400520 is applicable to tightvnc as far as I can see. openSUSE 11.3 does not ship tightvnc's Xvnc, so I could also close this bug as INVALID. Does this sound any better? BTW, Bug #400520 fixes the issue in xf4vnc's Xvnc patched into xorg-server sources. Okay, I seem to have overlooked that, thanks for clarifying. |
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100928 Firefox/3.6 Running a TightVNC server on openSuSE 11.3 and connecting with a client that has a non-US keyboard, typing certain necessary characters becomes impossible: - Typing Shift+'7' on a German layout should produce '/', but yields '&' instead. - Typing Shift+',' should produce ';', but instead yields ':' When typing another shift key combination directly before that (let's say Shift+'8' for '(') and then typing the desired combination without releasing the shift key, the correct character is printed. This is a regression from openSuSE 11.2, where VNC worked as expected. Reproducible: Always
