Apache Guacamole and keypress issues on Microsoft Edge browser
Hi,
I'm getting feedback from remote users saying that when they access Guacamole with Microsoft Edge and enter an RDP session, they lose around half of what they type. Other browsers such as Firefox or Chrome work fine.
I've only tested Edge on Win10 in a LAN environment, and I've been unable to reproduce this issue (no key strikes lost).
Just two questions:
1) Has anyone seen this behavior with Edge? Is it a known bug?
2) I've tried a keyboard test with Firefox (which works fine), but I don't quite understand if the result is "OK". Suppose I type "Another day another dollar" and get this:
Keyboard tester git: master API: 1.2.0
Please press some keys...

Is the result actually "OK"? There seems to be some kind of echo here...
However, as I said, I've been typing the same sentence over and over again in an RDP session, and it displays just fine with Firefox.

I have reproduced the issue that some users reported. There are keyboard issues with Edge.
Here's the test output when trying to type "Another day another dollar" with Edge:

I've asked one of those users to connect to the guacamole keyboard test web page with Edge. Some key events are not detected. In particular, the user pressed the letter "i", the "keydown" event was detected but not "keyup". Same thing for n, r and a, but it doesn't really have anything to do with the letter because typing the n again (for instance), seems to work fine (both up/down events detected).
This happens within seconds while writing a single sentence.
Doing the same with other browsers from the same client machine (eg. Firefox and Chrome) shows no such issues.

Sure, I get that. I guess I got confused and thought there was an echo because the events were detected out of order. I see now on Firefox that the keydown/keyup pairs work out just fine. However, with Edge as noted before there are missing keyup events.

There are no such known issues with typing in Edge or any other browser.

There is no echo there. As you type, pressing and releasing each key will
always produce a pair of events - one for pressing the key (keydown) and
the other for releasing the key (keyup). This is how it's possible for
applications to know that you are holding down a key, or that you are
holding down multiple keys at once (as you did when typing the capital "A",
or while typing the "no" in "Another").
