Description chenbin 2014-04-10 01:01:44 UTC 
Hello! When I use spice-GTK client in windows?I found the shift key might stuck in the guest OS. It looks like shift key pressed in guest, but I did not press indeed.
The problem is easy to reproduce. steps to reproduce:
1) use spice-GTK client to connect VM
2) press left shift and right shift keys at the same time
3) release two keys together
Then, the shift key stuck! The problem only happens in windows client, and it also happens in spicec client.
I had tried to debug it, and I found that spice-GTK client only release one shift key rather than two.
Is this a known problem?

Thanks!:)

Hi, all win apps has this problem (no keyup event is fired) - I asked the question about the missing shift key release: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9a88eecd-ff28-4317-858b-915d52cd63f0/how-detect-shift-key-release-when-both-shift-keys-are-pressed I don't think MS will solve it...

See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2014-December/018248.html if you need a workaround
