Bug description:
Binary package hint: synergy

Running synergy client on my Ubuntu desktop with British keyboard layout,  when I press [shift] + ['] for @ on my server, Synergy receives ASCII 64 for the at sign correctly, but Ubuntu turns it into unicode 03A9 (Greek capital letter Omega, Ω) on output into any program I've tested (e.g. Gedit, Gnome Terminal, XChat). Is it a coincidence that the ASCII for apostrophe is 39? Other key combinations (e.g. [shift] + [#] for ~) that I've tested seem to work fine.

Here's the relevant section from my synergy logs (debug level DEBUG1) on the client machine:

(For your information, I'm using a British Thinkpad T40 with Windows and Synergy 1.3.1 as my server, though this shouldn't be relevant as the client is receiving the correct ASCII code.)
