Description William Sjöblom cendio 2025-02-05 16:37:35 CET 
With ThinLinc in fullscreen mode, it is not possible to switch workspaces on the host OS using trackpad gestures.

Looking at other full screen apps, for example Chrome, these gesture works just fine when the application is in full-screen mode.

This was observed on macOS 15.3.

This is just a variation of bug 4975, so everything is working as intended.

Without "Send system keys", switching virtual desktop works just fine. With it enabled, all input goes to the session.
Comment 3 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-03-18 17:08:08 CET 
This will be "fixed" on macOS with the current plan for bug 4660, unless we explicitly prevent it.

The problem with that is that we might "break" it again in the future, if we add a mechanism to send those trackpad gestures to the session.
