Description Bill 2014-11-27 02:49:20 UTC

There are problems with the keyboard and problems with copy/paste
1) The less than key "<" becomes ">" key.
 - the latest 32-bit windows ultra-vnc has this problem
 = the latest 32-bit windows tight-vnc has this problem
 - linux-to-linux with tigervnc viewer does not have this problem
2) Copy paste to clipboard not working
  - ultra-vnc not working in either direction
  - tight-vnc not working in either direction
  - linux-to-linux with tigervnc to tigervnc copy-paste not working in either direction

I am testing out tigervnc with mate-desktop in gentoo, starting vnc with the following command:

x0vncserver -display :0 -passwordfile ~/.vnc/passwd


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to linux box running tigervnc with a vnc viewer
2. Press the "<" key
3. Try to copy or paste in either direction
Actual Results:  
Does not work

Expected Results:  
Works
