Bug 239456 – net-misc/vnc-4.1.2-r4 vncviewer in fullscreen mode does not pass focus when mouse goes to a second monitor

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Christophe 2008-10-03 18:08:10 UTC]

On a dual monitor set-up - set as two separate screens (:0.0 and :0.1).

When vncviewer (net-misc/vnc-4.1.2-r4) run fullscreen mode (on screen 0), moving the mouse to the other screen (screen 1) does not allow any keyboard input in the screen 1. Clicking mouse does not give focus to window and any keyboard input is sent to the focused window in the vncviewer running of screen0.

Using vinagre does not have that problem.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. on screen0, start "vncviewer remotepc"
2. call menu (F8) and select fullscreen
3. move mouse to screen1 and try to input keyboard character or focus/move a window.

Actual Results:  
All keyboards inputs are sent to the vncviewer.

Expected Results:  
As with vinagre - once mouse exits vncviewer - focus and keyboard to go where user click/type.
