@Manny: Yesterday I downloaded rdesktop_1.6.0.orig.tar.gz and rdesktop_1.6.0-3ubuntu1~ppa1.diff.gz from your PPA, and tried to analyze it thoroughly. I must admit that you did a great work of taking all these patches together!
Today I tested rdesktop from your PPA in our office. First, I have to say I *always* use -y switch, because without it rdesktop uses *very* unreliable, in soft words, algorithm. From the code I have read it seems that its developers are smart people, and I still can't believe how could they choose such way of handling keyboard! With -y switch, TAB works properly, and I only encounter two bugs related to key handling: 1) numeric slash behaves like "/" key near right shift; 2) Break/Pause key does nothing. We know what caused both bugs, and working on solution now. Second, regarding -K switch. I need some detailed explanations here. I generally don't use it, but as I can tell, in rdesktop from your PPA, and in original rdesktop from 8.04, it works similarly. I can't find any bugs here. Except when not using -y, you get broken TAB key, but we just didn't notice it here, because of bigger problem: not using -y results in a mess instead of Russian layout. Also, I don't get several things about -K. Do you use Alt+F4? Actually, it's window manager key binding, so you must expect that whole rdesktop window will close. So it does. Is it OK? As for me, that was unpleasant surprise. What about PrintScreen? With -K switch, must it take a screenshot in Windows, or in Ubuntu? For now, it does this in Ubuntu, and screenshot dialog is invisible until rdesktop window is minimized, because it is below that window. I find this wrong, and believe that when rdesktop window is active, PrintScreen must take a screenshot inside Windows. Only if rdesktop window is inactive, it must take a screenshot in Ububntu. Do I get right that actually only CTRL+ALT+LEFT_ARROW and CTRL+ALT+RIGHT_ARROW are the key bindings users want to pass to Window Manager? Maybe there must be some config file so that a user could set up particular keys which must be handled by Window Manager. All other keys will be sent to remote Windows desktop. Our sales department kindly agreed to test starting from tomorrow the version you provided, so there will be a followup. -- rdesktop works bad with several keyboard layouts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251709 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
