AltGr is creating Ghost keystrokes #3675

Open mschnelte opened 1 year ago

mschnelte commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Pressing AltGr on my german keyboard is producing Alt_L keypress + release events once the key is released.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. on server side xpra is started with /usr/bin/xpra --no-daemon start :100
  2. On client side I connect via ssh.
  3. Keyboard layout selected on client is "Auto"
  4. run xev
  5. press altGr
  6. release altGr

Expected result: KeyEvents for AltGr Actual result: After releasing the AltGr Button, KeyPress and KeyRelease events for ALT_L are coming in.

This is a very annoying behavior as it triggers activation of the menu bar in some programs and typing is disrupted. It seems this has been found already in issue: #2560 but not followed up?

I noticed on windows side if I run GTK_keyboard_test.exe i get down Control_L, down alt_R when pressing altGr. This seems to be standard behavior on windows. Not sure if this has anything to do with this bug.

Client output on start on windows with -d keyboard

That's a "feature" of key events on MS Windows, which you can see by running the "keyboard" tool from Xpra_cmd.exe toolbox.
It sends spurious Control_L events. I'm not sure what we can do better here.

mschnelte commented 1 year ago

Yes, I have seen that behavior on Control_L+Alt_R. But why does it translate to ALT_L? There are two things that I find curious here:

  1. It works with xserver connections. If i run cvxsrv on my windows machine and start a x11 app on linux the altgr key simply works. Having started xev in a x11 sessssion i only get ISO3_Level_Shift keypresses and releases. None of the ghost keys i see in xpra session.
  2. I browesed through related https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/2946#issuecomment-765552558 and the referenced commit there https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/commit/a4c1ef5f14835a6e9924a7fdb99fab0cf1e8f34a . The comment says that control_l are filtered out. The thing is that if you look at the logs above, you see that the key press events are in fact filtered out. The alt_L key is send only on releasing altGr.

The alt_L key is send only on releasing altGr.

Then perhaps we need to filter them out also when releasing AltGr.

Can you please try 5.0-r32215 or later from https://xpra.org/beta/windows It includes the commit above, which should do what you want. I am seeing spurious Num_Lock events, those should be suppressed.

mschnelte commented 1 year ago

Tnx for the quick update! It does actually solve the problem that it does trigger alt keystrokes and therefore triggering unwanted menu focuses in for example vscode. However it seems to be too drastic when filtering:

Steps:

  1. Press AltGr
  2. Release AltGr

Expected Result: KeyPress ISO3_Level_Shift followed by KeyRelease ISO3_Level_Shift Actual result: Only the keyPress event

  1. Press AltGr
  2. Release AltGr
  3. Press AltGr

Expected Result: KeyPress ISO3_Level_Shift, KeyRelease ISO3_Level_Shift, KeyPress Event ISO3... Actual result: Only the first keyPress event, no release events, no subsequent keypress events

  1. Press AltGr
  2. Press 0 (should result in } on a german keyboard)
  3. Release 0
  4. release AltGr
