xtightvncviewer doesn't send Shift+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab key combination

[klo]

xtightvncviewer doesn't seem to send Shift+Tab, nor Ctrl+Shift+Tab key combination to the server. Ctrl+Tab works fine.

I'm running the following:
Xubuntu 9.10
xtightvncviewer 1.3.9-4
tightvnc server (windows binary) 1.3.10.

If I run the windows client (vncviewer.exe - 1.3.10 from http://www.tightvnc.com/download/1.3.10/tightvnc-1.3.10_x86_viewer.zip) under wine, shift+tab is sent to the server.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu development version (10.10). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect 502928, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

I should ask, does the windows server edition accept these as valid keypresses? Perhaps they are being sent and the windows edition simply does not recognize them?

Hi Charlie, yes, everything works fine with xvnc4viewer.

I've just re-installed the latest version of xtightvncviewer (1.3.9-6) on lucid, still no shift+tab...

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
