Bug ID: 496656
Summary: Keyboard no longer works in remote systems
Classification: Applications
Product: krdc
Version: 24.08.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: RDP
Assignee: uwol...@kde.org

SUMMARY
Keyboard does not work anymore. Have to press grab keyboard repeatedly, to turn
it on, off, and back on, for the keyboard to work. In previous versions none of
this was necessary.
The mouse cursor no longer changes accordingly to the remove system, i.e. it is
no longer possible to see that it points at resizable column boundaries, etc.
where the shape of the cursor is important for the user experience.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run KRDC
2. Connect to a remote system.
3. Type some text.
OBSERVED RESULT
No text is typed.
EXPECTED RESULT
Text is typed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: any
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 41
KDE Plasma Version: I've no idea, I do not use it for desktop. There is no
version string in 'About KDE' of KRDC.
KDE Frameworks Version: No clue. See above.
Qt Version: No faintest idea. See above.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There are no words to express how critical this bug is. This is a gigantic pain
point and a huge show-stopper. When KRDC grabs keys, nothing works on the host:
neither keyboard nor mouse. When keys are not grabbed, there is no keyboard
input into the remote system. It is unfathomable how this made it through QA.
