Related to: Bug #3088 - AltGr key not working on Windows XP client (Linux server) v1.4.7

Steps to reproduce:

I use a keyboard layout with a "dead key" (dvorak-fr). The dead key used to work with 1.3x but now it does not.

Steps to reproduce :

setxkbmap -layout fr -variant dvorak
press "dead key" (it's 8) + "e"

Expected: è
Actual: e

Versions (Synergy, OS):

Server: 1.4.6
Client: 1.4.6

Both packages from Archlinux

The following ticket issue #3137 looks very similar to this one (since the dead key takes the same role as Alt Gr).

1.4.7 (both on client and server) has the problem has well.

1.4.5 however works (does not have the bug).

So this regression is specific to 1.4.6 vs. 1.4.5.

Thanks

Hello,

this has slightly improved as of svn r1536.

My client and server use dvorak-fr with dead key.

è is produced correctly (dead+e), but ù is not produced and yields u (dead+u).

Log for è:

1.4.5 on server and client: works 1.4.5 on server, r1536 on client: broken r1536 on server, 1.4.5 on client: works

So it seems there is a regression on the client side between 1.4.5 and 1.4.6.

Found the bad commit after bisecting, it is r1206. As it breaks modifiers, I think it would gain to be reverted.

c8c78b6287e84b84ab52b160c54e671b3626739a is the first bad commit commit c8c78b6287e84b84ab52b160c54e671b3626739a Author: nick.bolton.uk <nick.bolton.uk@33c40d52-04ba-11de-a43f-ff96a2b7a9af> Date: Wed Feb 1 15:58:31 2012 +0000

Sadly, dead keys don't work with 1.4.10. Running 1.4.10 server on Ubuntu and 1.4.10 beta client on Mac.
