Caps Lock send weird symbols

Post by cianoz »

Hello to all
For some time now I'm experiencing a problem with UVNC, i think it started with ver 1.2.2.4 but I'm not sure.
When I press the CAPS LOCK key a strange character is sent to the remote computer. Every single press of the Caps Lock key sends this weird character and this prevents me from quickly passing from lowercase to uppercase and viceversa.

The workaround is to use the SHIFT key, but it's obviously uncomfortable.

It looks that the weir char is always the same, precisely: ¥

This happens to all computers in my network (Win 2012, Win 7, Win 10)

Does anyone know what is the problem?

What are the server keyboard settings.
Check
[v] international keyboard (patch handle special keys different)
Try to disable it, same repports from other when active.

Hello Rudi
I guess that for international keyboard you mean the "Japanese (v102 keyboard method)" - I can't find any other setting about keyboard.
The most of my machines have that setting unchecked and some haven't. Anyway the problem occurs on both.
