User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 SUSE/3.6.8-0.1.1 Firefox/3.6.8 Connecting to VncServer (SuSE 11.3) via VNC Client (RealVNC, Windows/Linux) When typing a '/' ([SHIFT]+7) as FIRST character, a '?' appears. If typing a '(' ([SHIFT]+8) before, the '/' will be correctly shown. This problem also appears with TigerVNC if selfcompiled or vino. This problem does NOT exist, if using TightVNC selfcompiled - but colors are crap :-( I found, that SuSE TightVNC uses a patch for TightVNC and I found a complex handling of KeyCodes in Xvnc of TigerVNC. Is this possibly related to this? This does NOT exist in SuSE 11.2 same Installation Type (German) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup VNCServer via Xinetd or x11vnc on german installed SuSE 11.3 2. Connect with RealVNC Client 3. type a '/' ([SHIFT]+7) - a '?' will show 4. type a '(' ([SHIFT]+8) - then type a '/' ([SHIFT]+7) - a '/' will show Actual Results: '?' Expected Results: '/'
