I am on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, using VNC to connect to a Windows 7 machine. I confirm that this shift-click bug still exists with the xtightvncviewer (1.3.9-6.4ubuntu1) and xvnc4viewer (4.1.1+xorg4.3.0-37ubuntu5.0.2) VNC clients. However, gvncviewer (version 0.5.3-0ubuntu2) does NOT have the bug, it works fine with both shift-click and ctrl-click.
