Jeremy, I'm running a version of vncviewer to connect to a remote vncserver, and am using XQuartz 2.5.0. I'm running into an issue where I can't use a particular application very well because I can't seem to hold the shift key combined with the mouse to select multiple items. I've compiled the version of vncviewer I'm using for linux, and have tried it on a linux system connected to the same remote vncserver, and I can perform the shift and multiple click just fine. I've used xev to capture the various events when I try to do this using XQuartz, and I think I've found where this breaks. When I hold the shift key, I see a KeyPress event for Shift_L. Immediately when I mouse click, I first see a KeyRelease event followed by the ButtonPress & ButtonRelease events for button 1. When I do the same sequence when running vncviewer from a linux machine, I don't see the KeyRelease event when I single click. Is this a known feature/bug? Kyle Lucke kylelucke@gmail.com

Interesting. Do you have any 3rd party input devices or drivers that might be interfering? My first guess was that this was related to "emulate 3 button mouse", but I cannot reproduce this in xev with that setting on or off. I am on 2.5.1_rc2, but I can't think of anything that I changed in that area in the last couple months... still, it might be worth you updating to 2.5.1_rc2 so we're on the same version as something may have slipped my mind. --Jeremy
