Description Jan Sever 2014-08-04 15:49:24 UTC

After upgrade from tigervnc-1.2 to tigervnc-1.3.1-r1 ctrl keys stopped working. The problem is the usage of system x11-libs/fltk that is not patched. The problem appears already in v1.2.80. Can you please provide ebuilds for svn versions of fltk and tigervnc as proposed at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166735?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to >=net-misc/tigervnc-1.2.80
2. Open a VNC session with vncviewer (of >=net-misc/tigervnc-1.2.80), the version of server's tigervnc is irrelevant.
3. Open e.g. firefox in VNC and try to get to the location bar via C-l.
Actual Results:  
Ctrl keys don't work.

Expected Results:  
Ctrl keys will work.

Upstream FLTK developers are dead against anyone releasing intermediate versions. If you have specific patches to solve specific issues, then that's fine.
