Xpra: Ticket #1119: altgr workaround causes spurious ctrl key events to be sent

Related to #62, see also #923, #824, #759, #602, #425.

The workaround detects when Alt_R follows Control_L and undoes the control keypress. This causes applications to see the control key pressed briefly. We should try to detect those spurious key events and avoid sending them.

status changed from new to assigned

Mostly implemented in r11924 + r11926

Still TODO:

verify spurious numlock changes (caused by firing from a timer instead of key event?)
backports for older branches - after checking for regressions (as per list of tickets in bug description)

Sat, 20 Feb 2016 13:27:23 GMT - Antoine Martin:

Backport to v0.16.x in r11995 (+fixups in r11998 + r12000)

owner changed from Antoine Martin to alas

@afarr: just a FYI, please close. You are unlikely to trigger this code unless you use a keyboard layout using altgr on win32.

status changed from new to closed
resolution set to fixed

Noted... and I don't, so I'll just close and presume I'll remember if it ever comes up again.
