I'm running 1.4.4 on both my Mac server and Ubuntu client. When I switch over to my Linux box I can type fine until I use shift or control. Once I do I can no longer type on Linux. I have to move the mouse cursor round-trip to the Mac and back to Linux before I can type on Linux again. Of course I still can't type capitals. (It looks like synergy is sending ESC-letter rather than SHIFT-letter, but I'm not sure)

I had synergy 1.3.x working fine until I upgraded Ubuntu and it installed synergy 1.4 which required me to upgrade the Mac. Only after that did I start having trouble.

Also, after a while the physical keyboard stops working on mt Linux box & I have to remotely kill my gnome session and log in again.

I've used synergy for a couple years now & this is the first time I've run into this type of problem (Clipboard never really worked).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

EDIT: I've tried updating both client and server to 1.4.5 had find that the mouse works but keystrokes stay on the Mac.

I tried 1.4.4, 1.3.7 and 1.3.6 with a 1.4.3 linux client and 1.3.6 on mac was the only one that worked with SHIFT and other meta keys.

Me too. Server on Mac and Client on ubuntu (both spanish layout) . I've tried 1.4.5 beta and 1.3.8 stable, and went back to 1.3.1, which works without these problems (but the client stays on EN_us)

I'm seeing this behavior with a Windows 7 client and Mac server as well.
