Title:
  Qt5 incorrectly interpret keypresses from remote VNC keyboard

Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in qttools-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:

Status in tightvnc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Have Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed with VNC server
  2. Connect to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from other machine with VNC client
  3. Launch any Qt5 based application such as `assistant`, `kate` or `retext`
  4. Press keyboard combination on VNC client

  Expected results:
  all keypresses are recognized successfully

  Actual results:
  * <Shift> produces `1`
  * <Alt> produces `5`
  * <`> produces `p`
  * <Delete> and <Backspace> are not working
  * all letters are messed

  
  Note:
  only Qt applications are affected, the GTK-based work as expected (including Chromium from which I write this bug-report)
