Hi,

I got a new laptop and I set it up as client of the desktop, and I encountered a problem sending some keys to the client laptop.

I run an autohotkey (ahk) script in both pcs, that uses CapsLock-i (at the same time) to enter ArrowUp, instead of entering 'I' (and other keys for other directions, use this for faster typing and moving around). In the synergy server the ahk is working, in the client, if I use the laptop keyboard, the ahk script works ok too.

But when I use the server keyboard, while working on client, and I enter CapsLock-i, I got 'I' in the client, instead of the ArrowUp key.

I tried setting the laptop as synergy server and desktop as client, and I had the same issue, client does not get the right key.

This worked for me at least in another setup at home, both pcs were win7 32b. Here both are win7 64b. Using synergy1.3.8. I tried to set debugging info (Debug1) but I am not sure if something useful can be seen, it is so difficult to get the log entries that refer to the instant the interested keys are being sent...

Any help with the issue or how to provide better logs so it could be troubleshooted?

BTW, congratulations on using SO for QA, much better than usual forums.

I have tested now with latest synergy-1.4.5-Windows-x64.exe and the issue remains. It is a bit easier to debug as log can be directed to a file, but I would need some help on what part of the log to supply...
