Noticed this in 1.0.8.2 so I upgraded both server and client to 1.0.9.6.1 hoping it would go away. Alas, the feature still exists. Not sure if it's my configurations or a glitch.
After connecting to a server, a file transfer session is performed. When exiting file transfer back to remote control, the Alt key seems stuck. That is, if I double click a desktop icon, its properties page appears - just as it would if you held Alt while double-clicking. I must then press Shift, Control, Alt in sequence a few times to clear the stuck key. Then all is well again (until next file transfer session, then I must repeat the key dance to clear).
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? I searched the forums a bit but didn't see anything similar (that may just speak to my search abilities).
Thanks in advance for both any help and this great product.

Alt key stuck after File Transfer session
Re: Alt key stuck after File Transfer session
I haven't noticed it specifically with UltraVNC but I get that problem frequently just in using Vista. I always attribute it to (a) Windows sucking and (b) my frequent use of Alt key combinations.
Re: Alt key stuck after File Transfer session
Happens on XP server and 7-64 client. I'll check XP and XP, but I believe it happens with that combination too. Don't know about Vista, I don't do Vista.
Re: Alt key stuck after File Transfer session
Yes, you're reporting something specific to the file transfer feature, which I rarely use with UVNC. I'm hoping that Rudi or Redge will come by and give you a better answer...
Re: Alt key stuck after File Transfer session
Am I the only one experiencing this behaviour? If I am, then I'd have to think the fault is at my end somewhere. But it happens on different clients connecting different hosts so my initial thoughts are software "feature". Thought I'd tickle the thread and see if anyone has any input. D.
