Description Hartmut Meyer 2004-10-13 15:40:25 UTC
originally reported in #42456 but apparently unrelated to that one. Therefor a 
new bug. 
 
This is from a customer report (I'll translate it if needed):

"diese Problem haben sie gelöst" refers to the problem with international  
keyboard layouts in our vnc (#42456) that was fixed with a YOU update.

IIRC Andreas suffer from the same problem. Most likely a timing problem with 
autorepeat. Does it help to disable autorepeat ("xset r off", see "man xset")? 
Comment 3 Hartmut Meyer 2004-10-14 02:38:00 UTC
Unfortunately I have lost the ticket number, so for the moment I have no means 
of contacting that customer. If I'm lucky he'll come back with a reply to my 
latest answer. 
 
I don't which Andreas you are refering to (Andreas Schwab?), but maybe he can 
check? 
 
 
Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2004-10-14 02:43:47 UTC
Ok. I will set this to enhancement. 
Comment 5 Franz Hassels 2004-10-14 02:48:40 UTC
@Hartmut: Ticket # 20040812430002978, if you still want to contact the customer.
Comment 6 Andreas Schwab 2004-10-14 02:54:59 UTC
I can't reproduce the problem any more when disabling autorepeat.  I would be 
nice if autorepeating could be disabled separately for each input source.

I assume this still exists in at least 10.1 (looking at the duplicates) - let's move the product forward...
Comment 11 Stefan Dirsch 2008-07-16 20:37:58 UTC
minor issue.
Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2010-04-28 03:34:44 UTC
There are no plans to fix this still for opnSUSE 11.0, but please feel free to reopen if you see the issue still/again with openSUSE 11.3.
