[Xquartz-dev] 'Screen sharing problem'

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Is this a regression?  I changed the modifier key handling to _always_  
update modifier keys on every event, not just NSFlagsChanged to work  
around stuck modifiers during space change, etc... so if it is a  
regression, then it is a bug in screen sharing because it's sending  
the 'c' event with the incorrect modifiers (and no corresponding  
NSFlagsChanged event beforehand).

Can you please report this at bugreport.apple.com
