Public bug reported:
I am a DVORAK keyboard user, so I have "English (Dvorak)" as my layout
selected in cinnamon mint 17.2.
When I rdesktop to a windows machine that is ALSO configured to use
dvorak, the mapping gets double-applied, so that all the keys (except a
and m) are mapped wrong (not qwerty OR dvorak, but double-modified).
When I rdesktop from one windows machine with dvorak to another, I do
not have this problem, so it seems it is a bug with rdesktop somewhere.
Linux Mint 17.2 64bit
ii rdesktop 1.7.1-1ubuntu2
Steps to reproduce:
Login to a fresh cinnamon mint17 install, and via the keyboard
preferences, change layout to English (Dvorak).
Login to a windows computer and use the control panel to change layout
to "United States-Dvorak"
rdesktop from the linux machine to the windows machine
What happned: keys are not mapped to either qwerty OR dvorak, but randomish
What I expected to happen: keys work in dvorak mode
