Clipboard handling when using olders clients is utterly broken when trying to transfer ISO 8859-1, likely because of bug 3895. It is broken in both directions, but in different ways: Copying from the server to the client results in extra "?" after each non-ASCII character. Copying from the client to the server results in every non-ASCII character getting replaced with � (U+FFFD). It is likely the combination new client/old server is also broken as the same conversion routines are involved.
Upstream issue: https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/1119
Fixed upstream: https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/pull/1120 So we just need to do a vendor drop to get this in.
We will do a smaller release x.x.1 one, so we don't want to take in too much with a vendor drop. This issue is fixed upstream. Patched this for now. Testing 7563: RHEL8 server and client. Reproduced on: |Client version | Server version | Reproduced? +---------------+----------------+-----------+ |4.11.0 | Nightly | Yes | +---------------+----------------+-----------+ |Nightly | 4.11.0 | Yes | +--------------------------------------------+ After client and server rebuild with the patch, I tested the same combination again: |Client version | Server version | Working? +---------------+----------------+-----------+ |4.11.0 | Fixed | Yes | +---------------+----------------+-----------+ |Fixed | 4.11.0 | Yes | +--------------------------------------------+ |Fixed | Fixed | Yes | +--------------------------------------------+
Also tested that Webaccess still works well with server containing the fixes.
I can verify that this issue has been fixed. I could reproduce on: | Client | Server | Reproduced? | |--------+--------+-------------| | 4.11 | 4.12 | Yes | | 4.12 | 4.11 | Yes | And verified that everything works fine on: | Client | Server | Works fine? | |----------------+----------------+-------------| | 4.11 | Nightly (6707) | Yes | | Nightly (6707) | 4.11 | Yes | | 4.12 | Nightly (6707) | Yes | | Webaccess | Nightly (6707) | Yes | The testing was performed on the following systems: | Component | System | |----------------+------------------------| | 4.11 Client | Ubuntu 16.04 | | 4.12 Client | Ubuntu 16.04 | | Nightly Client | Fedora 32 | | 4.11 Server | Ubuntu 18.04 | | 4.12 Server | Ubuntu 18.04 | | Nightly Server | Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 | | Webaccess | Chrome 87 on Fedora 32 | Also looked at the release note, looks good. Closing!
I encountered error where copying "åäö" INTO the client will result in "\u00e5\u00e4\u00f6". Copying "åäö" from the client works fine though. This happens with: Client: 4.12.0 on Fedora 31 Server: Nightly (6721) on RHEL 8
(In reply to Niko Lehto from comment #13) This is an issue not connected to this bug. Filed a new bug for it, see Bug 7627. Closing again.
