Hi, I'm running a KVM GNU/Linux test machine with proxmox beta3 updated to latest version (HA included).
If I open a console and inside the VM I want to press TAB (i.e. I'm on the terminal window of the KDE desktop of the vm and want command completion using TAB), tab key is not "captured" by console but instead shifts the focus to the URL field of the browser "console" window and then, with subsequent tab, to "command bar" (where there are the command buttons "Start Shutdown Stop Senkey...").
With proxmox 1.9 it works fine instead.
My workstation is a Debian GNU/Linux 64bit, Iceweasel/Firefox 9.0.1.
One more question, but less important: the Kubuntu guest seems not to have full colour, in fact Kubuntu installer has a sort of black vertical stripes, and once installed the desktop has a yellow color instead of the blue one. Is there a way to set (globally or VM by VM), the colour depth of VNC?

Thanks tom.

Finaly i solved my problem, my workstation is a windows 8 developper preview and i try with java 6 instead of java 7 and it works perfectly, however under Linux Mint Debian Edition (debian fork) TAB doesn't work with vnc console.
