Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-01-30 16:57:30 CET 
If you are using KDE in the ThinLinc session, then you can get an issue where the keyboard from the client isn't always properly transferred.

Issue was reported upstream here:

https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/1586

And fixed here:

https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/commit/8d2739fa71eaf7a28d63ac62583e8087c66a5247

This also prevents server applications from modifying the clipboard in the background, which is probably a safer behaviour.
