Known Bugs in Synergy
=====================
added files for release.
2002-08-01 18:07:48 +00:00
Fixed win32 config saving, keyboard mapping, and AltGr bugs. Made extensive changes to the launcher to provide more control over setting up auto-start and it now saves configuration to the user's documents directory if auto-starting at login and saves to the system directory if auto-starting at boot. Replaced MapVirtualKey() with table lookup to work around that function's lack of support for extended keyboard scan codes. Added first cut at support for AltGr.

When reporting bugs, please include the version of the operating
system you're using and what locale you use.
* Not all keystrokes are handled
Certain keystrokes are not captured by the synergy server and,
therefore, are not transmitted to secondary screens. Which keys
depends on the primary screen's platform:
Linux:
* ctrl+alt+del
* ctrl+alt+backspace (only if used by the X server)
* ctrl+alt+keypad_plus (only if used by the X server)
* ctrl+alt+keypad_minus (only if used by the X server)
Windows NT family (except NT prior to service pack 3)
* ctrl+alt+del
* accessibility shortcuts (e.g. pressing shift 5 times for sticky keys)
Windows 95 family (at NT prior to service pack 3)
* ctrl+alt+del
* ctrl+esc
* alt+[shift+]tab
* alt+[shift+]esc
* windows+E
* windows+[ctrl+]F
* windows+[shift+]M
* windows+R
* windows+F1
* windows+tab
* windows+break
* accessibility shortcuts (e.g. press shift 5 times for sticky keys)
* Non-ASCII keystrokes unsupported
Only ASCII characters are decoded and transmitted by the server.
However, the clipboard does support Unicode.
* Screen flashes (Windows)
On Windows, the primary screen flashes when the cursor enters it.
This is a consequence of how synergy captures input.
* Slow console text entry (Windows 95 family)
Typing into a command prompt window on the Windows 95 family has
very slow visual feedback.
* Event logs (Windows NT family)
Synergy doesn't support event logs properly on the Windows NT family.
In particular, the event message is reported in the extra data portion
of the event instead of the normal message portion.
* NoInteractiveServices not handled (Windows NT family)
Synergy does not (cannot) work when the NoInteractiveServices registry
entry is set. Synergy doesn't not gracefully handle it being set.
* Incorrectly hiding screen savers in certain situations (Windows)
If turning off the screen saver on the primary screen requires a
password on Windows then all of the secondary screen screen savers
are deactivated when the password dialog appears. If the password
is not entered only the primary screen's screen saver is activated.
* Not handling strange keyboards (X11)
Synergy does not detect keyboards with unusual behavior and may
misbehave as a result. Unusual behavior includes keyboards that
don't report KeyRelease events and toggle keys that report KeyPress
when toggled on and KeyRelease when toggled off (instead of KeyPress
and KeyRelease for each physical press and release).

Synergy doesn't handle shift-lock behavior (as opposed to caps-lock).

* Large Motif clipboard items are truncated (X11)
Synergy doesn't yet fully implement Motif's protocol for large
clipboard items. As a result it silently truncates those items.
Large depends on the X server but is probably around 256kB.
Synergy also doesn't support by-name Motif clipboard items. It
will read no data at all for those items.
* Automake isn't fully configured (Linux)
The automake configuration isn't complete so synergy won't build
