remmina not transmitting mouse wheel to VNC session

Markus.N2 · 2014-02-28 13:43:21

Hi,

I have just noticed that remmina is not transmitting mouse wheel events to VNC session. Never tried RDP, so I don't know if this is also affected.

First question: Is it only on my system or a general problem on Arch ?

If it is a general problem on Arch ...
I did a bit research abot this subject area, and I found some bug reports in multiple distros, but they are all marked as solved. So I think that it is fixed upstream. Otherwise the distros could not mark it as solved, right ?

If the package maintainer should read this ... is there a plan to update this package in near future ?

Thanks and Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

you are not the only one with this problem.

I experience this bug only with Arch, none of the *buntu distros I use has gut this bug anymore.
I agree with you that this looks strange - mainly because Arch is supposed to be up-to-date...
Maybe I will try the version from AUR some day.

Ditto here with Arch, but I haven't tried Remmina with any other distro.

I just installed remmina from the AUR and I'm happy to tell you that the version from AUR (1.0.0.r142) works fine :-)

Whow, that's coool. Thanks a lot.

Maybe, I should post a bug report or an update request or something like that ?
If the philosophy of Arch is to be up-to-date, this package is a candidate for being updated soon, isn't it ?

Good :-)

In this case this seems to be right, but I remember that I tried the AUR build a few monts ago and there were a plenty of other annoying bugs, so maybe it isn't stable enough yet? To be honest: I don't know anything about the mechanisms to trigger an upgrade of a package in the release tree...

I'm curious ... what kind of bugs ?
The only bug (besides the mouse wheel) I encounter with the repository version is the initially blank screen. And this is a really old bug: It is also there in my Xubuntu 12.04. But at least the frequent crashes from that old version are gone.

Usability bugs. The most annoying one was the size of the remmina window that was "never" right. And clicking the "1" button (top left) did unpredictable things. In most cases the window was maximised to full screen height leaving black bars above and below. The bug seems to appear less and less. I promise I will file a bug when I experience it again :-)
Crashes were always rare in my case.
But here's not the right place to lament around.

Markus.N2 · 2014-03-21 09:48:38

Oh, yes, the "1" button ... I already forgot that because I managed to avoid this button for a long time now :-)
This is also really old and occurs in my old Xubuntu version, too.

But you are right ... this is not the right place. As I wrote: I was just curious.
