Xkb option ctrl:nocaps doesn’t work

[happy.barney]

I’m using keyword option without capslock. NoMachine doesn’t respect that properly. It works only once.

For example keyboard actions:

– press Capslock
– press/release A
– press/release A

on remote system renders as “Ctrl-A” “A” whereas expected will be “Ctrl-A” “Ctrl-A”.

Any hint on how to make this xkb option work?

Can you tell us what distribution and version you have installed on the NoMachine server? What’s the desktop environmen? What version of NoMachine? What product have you installed – the free version, Workstation? What’s the client OS and version?

Linux, Fedora 30

NoMachine free version

nxserver –version says 6.9.2

client: Ubuntu 20.04; version 6.13.1
