Description

When opening the Guacamole menu, during an RDP session with a VM, with the default key combination (Ctrl + Cmd + Shift), the VM does observe key events as expected.

For instance, when pressing Ctrl + Cmd + Shift (in that order), the following key events can be observed (using Chrome's developer tools):

• Ctrl pressed
• Cmd pressed
• Shift released
• Ctrl released
• Cmd released

However, in the VM, the following key events can be observed (using xev):

• Ctrl pressed

Has been tested with both version 0.9.14 and the current master branch (d4f58f2c0d812b05c392e06438e659902e8121f8)
