Bug Description

When connected to a host via RDP, the toolbar has a button labeled "Grab all keyboard events". This allows things like "Alt-Tab" to switch windows on the remote host, rather than the local host, when Remmina has the focus.

In Ubuntu 17.10, this has stopped working. Things like Alt-Tab now always affect the local host, regardless of the state of this toolbar button.

Ah, the remmina PPA got disabled on upgrade. After reenabling it for artful, I still see the same issue with:

Version: 1.2.0-rcgit-21-0~remmina201710082307.rc3f630d.de61f735~ubuntu17.10.1

As a workaround, you can disable Wayland. Edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and set WaylandEnable=false under [daemon].
