Title:
  Alt-Shift does not propagate to remote host

Status in rdesktop package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rdesktop

  Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) with latest updates

  I connect to remote host (Windows XP Pro with latest updates) using
  tsclient. v0.148 Switch of keyboard layout on Windows is binded to
  Alt-Shift.

  While connected, the switch of keyboard layout via Alt-Shift is
  possible only at a logon screen. Further on, this functionality does
  not work. Press Alt-Shift and it will look like the Alt key is kept
  pressed (the menus that a binded on Alt-letter combinations are
  starting to fly around). But it is not possible to actually switch
  keyboard layout on remote host.

  This behavior is observed in rdesktop-1.4.1 and in rdesktop 1.5.0
  (built from official sources and checkinstall-ed) as well.

  Workaround: Assign switch of Keyboard layout to Ctrl-Shift on the
  remote host (not really convenient).
