Bug#308284: krdc: using dead key causes "1" to repeat endlessly
Package: krdc
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: normal
When I press for example the acute key of my keyboard while connected to
krfb from krdc, the next key I press will make that key's "value"
appear, and then "1" about 15 times each second. This only "works" for
keys that can normally follow an accent, like vowels, or c in the case
of the cedilla. Otherwise, nothing happens. I can stop the repetition by
pressing a key. That won't help me get accented characters, and it's
still very inconvenient...
This works from ~3 months old Sarge to new Sarge, and the opposite. This
doesn't happen when using TightVNC, although I was testing krdc because
TightVNC had its own problem for accented characters, so it's not a
reference. Happens using either English or French keyboard setting in
krdc, and canadian keyboard layout on both sides.
