Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can see the same problem on multiple Computers with German keyboards, running Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity) and Kubuntu 14.04. The key "/" on the numpad works as expected in the respective desktop environment, but produces a "-" in the xfreerdp window (also when running full-screen).

German keyboards have a "," key in the bottom right, this works as expected.

Upstream knows about the divide key problem and already has a solution:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/446

I have built a package with the fix in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~marcus-trautwig/+archive/ubuntu/fixes/

The change is also in their stable-1.0 branch, so it should appear in 1.0.3.

I've been using the new ARM build of Marcus' PPA for FreeRDP on Trusty 14.04 LTS with a Raspberry Pi 2 for two days already, with a Spanish keyboard. It fixes the problem. Thanks a lot.
