#23 Win2VNC causes pop-up to prematurely diappear

[Cristian Southall]

When running IDEA IntelliJ it should be possible to
hold the ctrl key and mouse-over a Class name to spawn
a pop-up. When accessing this application via Win2VNC
the pop-up does appear but almost immediately
disappears. This would suggest that some superfluous
keystroke or mouse event is being sent to the server.

* The application is IDEA Intellij v3.0.5, a Java IDE. Trial
downloads are available from http://www.jetbrains.com/. This
issue is not, however, application-specific: I am seeing the
same behaviour in PL/SQL Developer 5.0.3.527. To re-iterate,
the issue occurs where holding down the ctrl key and
performing a mouse-over some screen element. This should
cause a pop-up or a link to appear that is related to the
screen element under the cursor. This state change should
persist until the ctrl key is released but under Win2VNC the
state change is reset almost immediately without the ctrl
key being released or the mouse being moved.
* Win2VNC version is 1.3.1.12
* VNC Server version is 4.0
* Server is a P4 2.6GHz (with HT) and 1GB RAM. It is running
WinXP Pro SP2.
* Client is a P4 3.06GHz (with HT) and 1GB RAM. It is
running WinXP Home SP2.

Ok, installed application (IDEA) to see what you mean. I
assume this is about the square box that pops up and also
underlines (hyperlinks) the identifier under the mouse? That
indeed does not work most of the time.

I checked already the the logging of Win2VNC and it seems to
send a lot of superfluous keystrokes.

Your assumption is correct: the 'popup box and link' are
exactly the items I was [attempting!] to describe.

Vncviewer 3.3.7 seems to do the job correct. Forward porting key mapping code from vncviewer 3.3.7 to Win2VNC 1.5.x. Since this is not a trivial change in the code additional testing is required.

No active development, closing ticket.
