Source: qtbase-opensource-src Version: 5.3.2+dfsg-4+deb8u1 Severity: important Justification: makes keyboard usage impossible in apps using Qt5
Dear maintainers, Using Openbox via TightVNC on a Debian Jessie server, I've been running into a strange issue where the keyboard mapping in Qt5 apps is all wrong. For example, "asdf" on a US keyboard gets mapped to "abfh", and "qwerty" comes out as "c.gvn". I've looked online to find solutions or workarounds, and found only some similar issues and no real fix. Searching "asdf abfh vnc" brought me to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81427, though that only shows a workaround for GNOME. Other sources point to missing XKEYBOARD extension in VNC implementations as a cause for breakage, though the workaround with XKB_DEFAULT_RULES=base hasn't worked for me: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44938 Strangely enough, this only affects apps using Qt5 (Qt designer, Transmission-qt, various PyQt5 programs). In programs using GTK2/3 or Qt4 (qtconfig, VLC), I can type just fine. For reference, my installed tightvncserver version is 1.3.9-6.5, and my client is running Windows 7 with the TightVNC Java client, version 2.7.2. Best, James
