Keyboard input not working after sending Ctrl+Alt+Delete in shared link remote session

[JasperE84]

Describe the bug Cannot use keyboard text input after clicking the CtrlAltDelete [Send] button in a shared link session. This only appears to be an issue with shared link sessions. (In this case a desktop+terminal+files share session with expiry set to 48hrs)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to meshcentral remote session using a shared link
2. Click on the "Send" button next to "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" dropdown control
3. Click any text-input object in the remote session
4. Type something and it won't work
5. Disconnect/Reconnect to remote session using the button top left
6. Text input works again

Expected behavior Able to type using keyboard input after CtrlAltDelete

huh thats weird just replicated it here and its only the sharing page that has this bug? if you use the normal tab/user it works no problem?

also weirdly enough you can use the arrow keys just no characters? will look into it

[JasperE84]

Yeah I believe it did work on the normal logged in user. (I noticed it because I was testing a shared link which I use for a software vendor. They had some problems logging in to our system using the shared link. Which I found weird because I hadn't experienced this issue on my day to day usage for endpoint management)

all done and fixed! its 1 line command that was missing! if you want to patch urself 👍 https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/commit/abbb0fa9ee8f5b094e02333070b8266d9e7158c3

p.s: also fixed the timer/latency too as that was bugging me haha https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/commit/89b67ff999543399e3a05d0adada63663900d7f3

[JasperE84]

Thanks! Thats excellent! Ill see if ican find my way around the docker containers to patch this until its in the docker package release :)

[si458]

For docker just use master instead of v1.1.23 or latest

P.s every time we push a commit to the master branch it auto builds a master image hehe
