Page_Up, Page_Down translated to \, Menu

[donaldsycamore]

Describe the bug
On Debian Bookworm (latest stable), with Xpra installed via Xpra-provided debian packages, with GNOME 3 & Wayland, in Seamless mode, and US keymap, Page_Up on the client is translated to the "" key, and Page_Down is translated to Menu.

1. server command: xpra start --start=xfce4-terminal
2. client command: xpra gui -> connect -> SSH, username & hostname -> copnnect
3. xpra toolbox -> Keyboard running in a normal login session correctly shows Page_Up and Page_Down. xpra toolbox -> Keyboard running on the Xpra server shows KP_Divide and Menu

System Information (please complete the following information):

• Server OS: Debian Bookworm
• Client OS: Debian Bookworm
• Xpra Server Version 6.2.0-r0
• Xpra Client Version 6.2.0-r0

This issue also occurs when I use a client running on PostmarketOS (Alpine Linux) to connect to this same session.

AttributeError: 'ClientTray' object has no attribute '_override_redirect'

This is unrelated and fixed in 65eea92 - thanks for reporting it.

parse_key_event(<Gdk.EventKey object at 0x7fac347e0be0 (void at 0x3bbc3640)>, True)= \
KeyEvent(modifiers=['mod2'], keyname=Page_Down, keyval=65366, keycode=117, group=0, string=, pressed=True)

Looks correct to me.
The problem may be server-side.
Is this a default us layout or a more complicated one?

[donaldsycamore]

Yes, US layout (the norm here in New Zealand).

[totaam]

I believe that c57e4d4 fixes the problem and will be backported to older branches.
Until then, you can easily apply it by hand.

Hopefully it doesn't break any other platform..

[donaldsycamore]

Thanks, that indeed fixes it for me.

[totaam]

This has caused some breakage: #4404 and #4396, so I have reverted the commit in the v6.2.x branch.
A better solution is needed.

[totaam]

@donaldsycamore is that a Wayland session by any chance?

[totaam]

I think I know what happened here:

• with x11 clients connecting to an x11 server, we can preserve the client supplied keycode if we have applied the same keymap (that's the original if self.query_struct check)
• when wayland client support was improved, we re-used the same query_struct for providing the (much more limited) keyboard data we get: basic gtk wayland client #2243 (comment)

The commit above is a better fix and only uses the client keycode for X11 clients, other clients fall through to

xpra/xpra/x11/server/keyboard_config.py

Lines 477 to 478 in ce124c6

	def find_matching_keycode(self, client_keycode: int, keyname: str,
	pressed: bool, modifiers, keyval: int, keystr: str, group: int) -> tuple[int, int]:

@donaldsycamore please confirm that fb72d90 also works for you.

[totaam]

Not heard back.
