I have two concurrent users of my MacBook: one local (with local peripherals) and one remote (connecting via VNC to a user kept logged in with fast user switching).

As described here http://macosx.com/forums/howto-faqs/52547-howto-simultaneous-user-environments-via-vnc.html

That's working fine, except that when I hit modifier keys (e.g. shift, option, ...), I also affect the remote user.

For example, if I hold down shift, the remote user's key strokes are capitalised, and if I hold down option, they get strange glyphs instead of the normal letters.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, or how to fix it?

What software are you using? – emb1995 Jun 22 '11 at 15:58
We've noticed it in all running software - the dock, IDE, etc. We are using Vine VNC server on Mac and Ultra VNC and Tight VNC on Windows. – Michael Jun 22 '11 at 16:30
What clients are you using? – emb1995 Jun 22 '11 at 19:42
Ultra VNC and Tight VNC are the clients. – Michael Jun 23 '11 at 8:15
Try the Vine Client on another Mac to see if you can reproduce the issue. Other than that, this seems to be a bug with Vine Server; it would be a good idea to file a bug report. – emb1995 Jun 25 '11 at 0:46
