Bug Description
There are 2 problems here that are preventing me from using Remmina.
1) The window jumps randomly from one workspace to another
2) In Windows 7, the Super / Windows key is stuck in the "on" position.
I have a 2 monitor set up. I opened an RDP connection to a Windows 7 machine. The window is defaulted to fullscreen. Initially, I see nothing. I'm pretty sure that the window has opened fullscreen on a workspace that I cannot currently see. This has been my experience with earlier versions of Remmina on Ubuntu 11.10.
I press Super + S to see all of my workspaces. I find the fullscreen Windows 7 desktop and click on it to drag it back to where I want it. However, after a click but before I can drag it, the window jumps to another workspace. I click there to drag it to my preferred workspace. It complies.
Now that it's on my preferred workspace, I double click on the workspace to zoom into it for use. I can click and interact on the Windows 7 desktop now, but things are about to get worse.
As I type, I notice that the letters I am typing are being understood on the Windows 7 desktop as "Windows +" the letter that I typed. So, if I type "d," then the desktop clears because the Windows 7 machine things that I typed "Windows + d." At this point, I can't use the desktop at all.
I had previously read, here: https:/
Now, I click on the Windows 7 desktop, hoping that I can properly use it. However, with one click, the desktop goes AWOL to another workspace. I now have to track it down again. I press Super + S to find it. With one click it jumps to another workspace (again!), but it remains at this last one.
I zoom in, by double clicking on the workspace, and prepare to use the Windows 7 machine. However, the Super key solution was not effective, it's still stuck "on."
My information:
1) Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
2) remmina:
Installed: 1.0.0-1ubuntu6
Candidate: 1.0.0-1ubuntu6
Version table:
*** 1.0.0-1ubuntu6 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
1.0.0-1ubuntu5 0
500 http://
3) What I expected: to connect to a Windows 7 desktop in a fullscreen window and be able to click on it and type without the Super / Windows key stuck on and without the window jumping to another workspace at random.
4) What happened instead: the Windows 7 desktop jumps to another workspace at random and the Super / Windows key is stuck in the "on" position.
