This is similar to the CAPS LOCK BUG reported earlier. VNC appears to be
incorrectly calling the functions for key presses or at least not coded to
handle possible error situations and keyboard anomalies can happen.

Subject: Strange control-key behavior
Hi, All,
I've searched the FAQ's and archives with no luck. I'm running
WinVNCviewer 3.3.3 R3 and VNCserver 3.3.3r2 on Solaris. Whenever I
press
the control key from Windows (even just depressing and releasing it
without pressing any other key) the viewer gets in a strange mode
where
all keypresses are assumed to be control. For instance, if I'm in a
shell
window, when it's in this odd mode, if I press "r" I'll see "^R"; if
I
press "c" it will assume an intr character. I can get out of this
mode by
either going to full-screen (or out of full-screen if I was in it to
begin
with), or by pressing "Shift-control".
I can also get into this mode by simply launching an xterm window.
Any ideas where to look to track this down?
Thanks!
Bill
