Description Michel Dänzer 2007-08-03 08:27:03 UTC

After VT switching away from and back to the server, it still seems to consider Control and Alt pressed, so until I actually press and release them again, pressing Backspace zaps the server. Interestingly though, this doesn't seem to affect other (at least 'normal') keys, I can type normally until I want to correct a typo...

I thought this was the infamous bug 11683, but although I can confirm that's fixed, the above still happens.
