----------------------------------------

             Summary: "Enter" key may repeat following login with Firefox
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-817
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-817
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: guacamole
            Reporter: Michael Jumper


As initially noted [on the user@ mailing list|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/8807f1f71b9244e901f6b3ad856600c4371ddaccd5a9b0c3375cf7af@%3Cuser.guacamole.apache.org%3E], connecting using Firefox occasionally results in the connection behaving as if the return/enter key is being held down, even though the key has not been pressed locally.

This behavior is actually due to Firefox not sending the {{keyup}} event when the login form is submitted using the "Enter" key. As the {{Guacamole.Keyboard}} instance is at the index level, present even before the user views a client page, it receives the keypresses which occur during login, including when the form is submitted. Lacking a {{keyup}} event for "Enter", the {{Guacamole.Keyboard}} instance assumes the key is held down and continually repeats the key. Once the user views a connection, those repeated enter keypresses are forwarded to the remote desktop.
