Unable to use tab in console

[mel128]

Hello,

V2 is great unless that damned tab key is not funtionnal in console mode. I've seen some post around that issue but not yet find a solution working for us.

Using on client side Windows 7 64 bits, Firefox 13.0 or Chrome 19.0, Java 7.0.40.22. Tying to install an Ubuntu release on Proxomox.

The tab control is not sent to the Ubuntu but taken by the console to shift between menus.

Thank for your help.

Michel.

its a known issue. as long as you use Java 6 on windows, it works great. Java 7 introduces the tab issue on windows (also seen on most Linux Desktops).
we are working on this.

Hi Michel,
as workaround use <alt gr>+<tab>

Thank for your replies.

Tom, I looking forward the new version.

Udo, when I use <alt gr>+<tab>, Windows 7 handles this as <alt>+<tab> !

Best regards.

All is fine now. I uninstalled Java 7, get Java 6 from Orcale and install it. I use Java only for this use so, it's not a real issue for me.

Thank for your help.

Have a look to this solution: https://plus.google.com/108730899326892173401/posts/fweMNWWHCT4
On my version there's nothing in this line but near this line there's the code for the vnc viewer applet - maybe this helps to solve the issue?

Edit: The option mentioned there is "Show Controls" - when set to "Yes", the tab key works with java7. So a quick workaround would be to check the java version in the script and if it's >=7 set the option to "Yes".
