FW: 0.9.10 / IOS 10 swipe from left opens wrong menu

[Philip Herbert <ma...@pherbert.de>]

Hello,

after upgrading from 0.9.9 to 0.9.10 (both git checkout),
I have noticed, that swiping from left screen corner in an active ssh
session, no longer opens the client menu. Instead the home screen is opened.

You can set the default input settings locally (for that specific
browser) within Guacamole's preferences screen:

http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/doc/gug/using-guacamole.html#default-input-settings

Having Guacamole set the default input settings heuristically (based
on whether you likely lack a keyboard) might prove more harmful than
good. I'd say try using the above for a while and see how life feels.
If you find yourself swearing at the UI, then the idea needs work.

Wow, that’s amazing. I had no idea. 

I wonder if it’s possible to make it automatically go into text-input mode from a mobile browser as well. That would be stellar (though it does get rather crowded).

Hi Philip,

First, to clarify: there is no 0.9.10 yet. The next release will be
0.9.10-incubating, and the version numbers have been bumped in
anticipation of getting that moving forward, but until an official
release is made this is still bleeding-edge git.

Now, as for the swipe issue:

iOS Safari uses a swipe from the left as the "go backward in history"
gesture. This isn't something that's new, but there are external
reasons you may have not encountered this until now. It would have
conflicted with Guacamole's "open menu" gesture for all releases of
Guacamole having that gesture, including 0.9.9. There is no way for
JavaScript itself to override this, but you can do so yourself by
making a shortcut to Guacamole on your home screen. A web application
run from within the context of such a shortcut will run full-screen,
without the browser's URL bar, buttons, etc., and without interference
from the browser's own gestures.

[Philip Herbert <ma...@pherbert.de>]

additional Information:

- IOS 9 also affected (issue is related to current git checkout)
- ldap/mysql backend in use, after checking
'Create new sharing profiles' in user settings

the correct menu seems to reopen when swiping,
however, the seems to be a sideffect related to the crash when opening an ssh connection
