Description Peter Åstrand cendio 2009-08-25 14:49:43 CEST 
From Issue8966. The Windows vncviewer doesn't work with Croatian layots. For example, when pressing š (the å key on a swedish keyboard), no keyboard event at all is generated. When running with debug, vncviewer says:

CKeyboard: no chars regardless of control and alt: extendedVkey 0xdb
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2011-08-25 16:28:04 CEST 
Should work. Verify.
Comment 2 Henrik Andersson cendio 2011-09-06 14:15:44 CEST 
Verified using win7 client and xev in session.
Comment 3 Peter Åstrand cendio 2011-11-24 15:08:07 CET 
Works much better than with the old client. However, some combinations such as AltGr-4 produces a dead key on Windows, but a non-dead in ThinLinc. This might be a problem, because you cannot generate a "upside-down â". See:

According to Pierre, we might want to add a few more dead keys to an internal list. Moving.
Comment 4 Pierre Ossman cendio 2014-09-16 15:38:38 CEST 
The symbol in question is breve, and it should work with the new code from bug 4677.
Comment 5 Pierre Ossman cendio 2014-09-16 16:23:03 CEST 
Does indeed work now.
Comment 6 Peter Åstrand cendio 2014-09-30 13:33:25 CEST 
Yes, works.
