Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2022-08-23 09:04:23 CEST 
The upper left key (left of "1") doesn't work on macOS for some layouts, specifically those that use the ISO physical layout. This is a regression caused by this upstream commit:

https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/commit/0c15866f0c86402016e55eeb7c044eb2e6cd95f5

It was pulled in to ThinLinc in bug 7158 for 4.9.0.

Typo. It was for 4.10.0.

Comment 4 Samuel Mannehed cendio 2024-11-07 11:04:24 CET 
Tested the macOS client on 6 different ThinLinc versions

- 4.9.0 (worked)
- 4.10.0 (blank client, bug 7539)
- 4.12.1 (worked)
- 4.13.0 (worked)
- 4.14.0 (bug started showing)
- 4.17.0post_3682 (fixed)

Since the bug didn't show until 4.14.0, the diagnosis that was made in this bug is wrong. Marking as duplicate of bug 8414, which describes the issue more correctly.
