Description:

The "dead key" on my dvorak-fr layout used to work fine with 1.3 but now it is ignored.
This is with Synergy 1.4.6, Archlinux, both on the client and the server.

A bug was reported upstream: http://synergy-foss.org/tracker/issues/3152

Pending resolution of this bug, Synergy is unusable for real work, so reverting is probably justified.

Thanks
This task depends upon

Hello,

Synergy 1.4.5 works, but not 1.4.6 nor 1.4.7.
Note that in order to build 1.4.5 you need to apply http://synergy-foss.org/tracker/attachments/2936/platform-libs.patch

Please revert synergy to 1.4.5 until the bug is fixed upstream.

Thanks

Upstream changed their tracker and killed the aforementioned link.

After bisection, this is the faulty commit: http://synergy-foss.org/code/comp.php?repname=synergy&compare[]=/@1205&compare[]=/@1206

Upstream is informed. Reverting it fixes my problems.

Are you informed of the release shedule of synergy, is there any new stable release coming soon?
Comment by Arthur Huillet (ahuillet) - Friday, 03 August 2012, 12:39 GMT
I am not informed of this, upstream is unresponsive.
Comment by Jelle van der Waa (jelly) - Tuesday, 14 August 2012, 10:46 GMT
Should be fixed with 1.4.10. Is it fixed?
Comment by Arthur Huillet (ahuillet) - Tuesday, 14 August 2012, 11:26 GMT
It is not fixed in 1.4.10 - see comment above concerning commit to be reverted and ticket http://synergy-foss.org/spit/issues/details/3102/ that wasn't closed nor replied to.

I'm not sure I understand the reason for closing. It's an upstream bug - so that justifies not keeping it in Archlinux's tracker. It's also not fixed upstream, and ignored upstream, so I guess it makes sense to keep track of it in Archlinux?

I just took this bug report over. What's the status?
Comment by Arthur Huillet (ahuillet) - Friday, 01 March 2013, 09:27 GMT
Upstream has still not responded, and the latest Arch package still has the problem.
Comment by Sven-Hendrik Haase (Svenstaro) - Saturday, 02 March 2013, 17:08 GMT
What is the definitive suggested fix?
Comment by Arthur Huillet (ahuillet) - Monday, 04 March 2013, 08:48 GMT
Reverting revision 1206 is the fix that works for me with 1.4.9 and 1.4.10. Patch attached.

This is definitely a patch that upstream should apply. If upstream doesn't react, the project should be forked.
