#1120 Java Viewer: Alt-Tab causes stuck Alt key

[Andrius Sutas]

If switching between host's windows with Alt+Tab, when current active window is Viewer's and then coming back to it, the toolbar indicates that Alt key is pressed and Alt events are sent to the remote server. Pressing Alt again gets it "unstuck". Note, this does not happen if focus was brought from arbitrary window to Viewer's (i.e. the Alt only "stucks" if window switching was initiated while the Viewer window was focused/active).

Java Viewer: 2.0.95
java version "1.7.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_01-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.1-b02, mixed mode)

I have the latest version of TightVNC. Running under Windows XP Pro. Latest update (just finished it a little while ago). The alt-tab problem is still happening. I'm thinking the problem is that the alt key is not cleared when the key combination is struck. Possible method to overcome this problem is to check for a blur action. If blur occurs for TightVNC clear all keyboard entries.

Wow that's an old bug... and I fixed it. Source changes here. Binary here. JavaX version.
