Known Bugs in Synergy
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Report bugs to: synergy@groundhog.pair.com
|
|
|
|
When reporting bugs, please include the version of the operating
|
|
system you're using and what locale you use.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation is missing
|
|
|
|
There are currently no man pages or other documents describing the
|
|
usage of the various commands.
|
|
|
|
* 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).
|
|
|
|
* Not handling mode-switch and shift-lock (X11)
|
|
|
|
Synergy neither handles the mode-switch key nor 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
|
|
properly on some (many) systems.
|
|
|
|
* Only text is supported on the clipboard
|
|
|
|
The clipboard supports Unicode and current locale encoded text but
|
|
there are numerous other data types it should support, e.g. images,
|
|
sound, raw binary data, etc.
