German Keyboard Euro symbol (€) not working

Hello,

I’m encountering the following issue:
I have WTware running on a laptop with a German keyboard (QWERTZ). However, the Euro symbol (€) does not work in the login dialog from wtware when using "Alt Gr + E".
Also no other way like (Strg + Alt + E) is working.
Interestingly, the @ symbol (Alt Gr + Q) works perfectly, and characters like ä, ö, and ü are functioning as expected. The keyboard layout is also correctly recognized as German.

I’ve tried various German keyboard layouts using their hex codes, but the problem persists.
I've also tested different keyboards and encountered the same issue on a Raspberry Pi, which rules out the possibility that the device is causing the problem.

In the configuration file, I’ve already added the following parameters:

Code: Select all

keyboard=de
language=de,default
Unfortunately, the issue remains unresolved.

It should work. "Alt Gr" key used in "Alt Gr + Q" should make Euro with "Alt Gr + E" in recent wtware version.

Please, show me terminal log after "Alt Gr + E" : http://wtware.com/logs.html
And photo of the screen with wtware interface you try to enter Euro sign in.

Mail it to support@wtware.com

Hello

I have to chip in: I have the same problems. When hitting "Alt Gr + Q" (for @) or "Alt Gr + E" (for €) via WTRC, the remote side is unable to do anything useful on the keyboard, e.g. typing "a" marks all text (in current textbox, like Ctrl + A), typing "f" triggers a search (focuses the search box in windows explorer for example), and so on. It seems, that the "Alt Gr" enables a system wide held down "Alt", which then interprets everything as "Alt + [Key]".

Ahh yes: and this can only be fixed by rebooting the remote raspi. And also my local system behaves like that even after wtrc close. I have to press "Ctrl + Win" or "Alt + Win" to disable this behavior.

Is there any plan to fix this? This is really annoying.

I even cannot use the alternative "Ctrl + Alt + Q" for example. Then, the remote side isn't responding for any key (compared to the "Alt Gr" version, where it at least did something).

This will be fixed. Sorry, it will take a little more time.
