Right Ctrl and Right Alt don't work

[Richard Laager]

Pressing Ctrl-Alt ungrabs the mouse, but only if you use Left Control and Left Alt. Using Right Control or Right Alt will not work. I don't see why there should be a difference.

Is the right Alt really just called "Alt" on American keyboards? On my Danish keyboard it's called "Alt Gr", which is an entirely different key. Pressing the left Alt (which is actually and "Alt" key) and the right Ctrl works for me.

[Richard Laager (rlaager)]

Yep, they're most definitely Ctrl and Alt here. Right Ctrl works fine for shortcuts like Ctrl-V (paste), for example.

[Richard Laager (rlaager)]

Also, both Alt keys seem to behave the same in other cases. For example, the Alt+F4 shortcut to close a window works using either Alt.

I can confirm this behavior, and add that the key seems to be the left ALT button. ie, I can break the control using:
 * left ctrl, left alt
 * right ctrl, left alt

But I cannot break control with:
 * right ctrl, right alt
 * left ctrl, right alt

Pressing Ctrl-Alt ungrabs the mouse, but only if you use left Ctrl and left Alt. Using right Ctrl, right Alt will not work nor will left Ctrl, right Alt.

Reproducible: Always

What version of virt-manager, and gtk-vnc are you using ?

[Daniel (daniel-redhat-bugs)]

virt-manager v. 0.5.4-2ubuntu1
gtk-vnc v. 0.3.7-0ubuntu2

[Daniel (daniel-redhat-bugs)]

Ok, the 0.3.8 release of GTK-VNC ought to have fixed this problem. You should file a Bug against Ubuntu gtk-vnc packages to get them updated.

[Daniel (daniel-redhat-bugs)]

This bug can probably be closed then.

[Dan Bass (dbass)]

This was fixed in upstream gtk-vnc 0.3.8.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Fix released to Ubuntu.
