Strange Keyboard Problem

[James Sentman]

So it works fine from a local keyboard but not when you do it through screen sharing? I THINK I can duplicate this actually. My initial reaction was that there was no way that was true ;) But it might be. I’m on a very slow connection today away from my desk but I was able to get logged in and test it. Any other way of bringing up the contextual menu works for me. I can tap with 2 fingers on my trackpad or use the right mouse button without a problem, but holding the control key down doesn’t work. This is only in the list windows, it seems to work everywhere else in the app that I was able to test, for example for selecting info about log lines and such, but for the List window it somehow doesn’t see the control key when connected over screen sharing.

it works fine locally, but not over screen sharing but only on those windows. That is SO very odd and I never noticed because I always use the right mouse button. I can’t actually even begin to think how that can be!

So it seems that for the moment until I can figure out how thats possible, you can’t control click on a unit in a list when connected via screen sharing. If you have a trackpad or a 2 button mouse or mouse like device it works fine though.
