tsclient interferes with desktop and leaves artifacts

[Darren]

I'm using Ubuntu Ibex 8.10 64 bit, and this is a fresh install. I did not have this problem using previous versions. When using tsclient, if I manually enter an ip address to connect to and hit the "enter key", the terminal services window pops up and connect correctly, but another artifact pops up which seems to be the drop down box containing previously used ip addresses. When the artifact also shows up, I can move the mouse cursor, but I cannot click on anything either on my gnome desktop or in the remote computer. The keyboard is still responsive, and if I log out and close out of the terminal services connection, all returns to normal.

Using the return key after entering an ip address seems to recreate this problem every time. I've disabled Compiz to see if that caused any problems and the problem still occurs.

I've attached a screenshot of what the screen looks like when the lockup occurs. Let me know if there's anything I can add.

Still have this problem in Jaunty.

Also sorry, this is a duplicate of Bug #293800 and Bug #294120

This is an absolutely infuriating bug that should not exist in the first place.

To reproduce: type in an address and hit enter, for some reason it brings up the drop down of past options. If you use the "connect" button instead of hitting enter, it works fine.

the issue doesn't seem really a hundredpapercut issue

This is not a small usability bug with a trivial fix, but rather a significant showstopper than can lock your screen.

It is fixed in Jaunty.
