Dave Giffney Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Help please... Anyone came across problem with keyboard not working on clients? My setup is: Server: Mac OSX 10.11.1 Clients: Windows 10 64bit Clients: Windows 7 64bit The problem seems to have started in either version 1.7.5 (or one before) and also tried 1.8 beta On the clients I have full mouse control but no keyboard inputs, does not matter if its Win10 or Win7 client running 1.7.5 or 1.8 beta. Anyone had similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dougherty Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Same issue. Same configuration. Just started happening yesterday afternoon. Upgraded Synergy for both server and client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C. Henning Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think I am having the same issue... My server is OSX 10.11.2 and my client is Win 8.1 64 bit. My mouse works fine but keystrokes are not being sent to the win client (they stay on the OSX machine), although for some reason the windows key does appear to get sent correctly... This just started happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Schafer Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Same issue here. Server: Mac OS X 10.7.5 Clients: Windows Vista 64 Clients: Mac OS X 10.11.2 The Mac to Mac case works, the Mac to Windows case has the keyboard problem. I tried downgrading both client and server to 1.7.4 and the problem persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Talbot Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yes, same issue just started today (Jan 12, 2016). I had been using Synergy v1.7.4 for a while and had not upgraded yet. Tried upgrading to v1.7.5 but the problem persists: mouse works on client but keyboard input always goes to the server. Server: OS X 10.11.2 Client: OS X 10.11.2 As far as I can tell, no automatic updates had occurred recently on either system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Williams Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sounds like this: https://github.com/synergy/synergy/issues/47 Most of the time closing Chrome resolves the issue but not for some. [quote]For everyone who closes Chrome and still have the problem: you may be affected by the Secure Keyboard Entry bug. Open Terminal Click the Terminal menu Click Secure Keyboard Entry Click the Terminal menu a second time If Secure Keyboard Entry is now checked, click it again to uncheck it, then quit Terminal If it's not checked, click Quit Terminal The point is to turn the option on and then off again, if it wasn't already on. There's a bug in OSX which causes it to act as if it's enabled when it isn't, and there are various ways it can be set on by other software like SecureAnywhere.[/quote] Post by the-wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Talbot Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks! Restarting Chrome (on the server) fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garret Walliman Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Restarting Chrome solves the keyboard problem, but after only a short while after restarting Chrome I lose my keyboard again. Is there some way to fix this permanently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Schafer Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 For me it does not matter whether Chrome is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
