shift-click & ctrl-click not working

[danmb]

In xtightvncviewer shift-click and ctrl-click behave as normal clicks, making it impossible to select multiple items. Server is tightvnc, and can be on a windows or on a linux host with the same result.

Easiest to reproduce by running a tightvncserver, then connecting to it with 'xtightvncviewer localhost:1'

Maverick and Natty seem to have the same tightvnc version so presumably both are affected
