From d609e5c88bf83530538ac63c74789f9d47cfb4b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chunyan Liu Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2016 16:48:17 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix tigervnc long press issue Using xen tools 'xl vncviewer' with tigervnc (default on SLE-12), found that: the display of the guest is unexpected while keep pressing a key. We expect the same character multiple times, but it prints only one time. This happens on a PV guest in text mode. After debugging, found that tigervnc sends repeated key down events in this case, to differentiate from user pressing the same key many times. Vnc server only prints the character when it finally receives key up event. To solve this issue, this patch tries to add additional key up event before the next repeated key down event (if the key is not a control key).
