Meshcentral: Bug: In agent-mode no typing into website forms shown in Edge (0.4.1-v)

Created on 7 Oct 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: Ylianst/MeshCentral

When using the remote desktop in agent mode and opening an Edge window, it is not possible to type into any forms shown in the window; when pressing a key, you see the cursor react, but to characters show up. The "Type" feature is affected by this bug, too.

Typing on the local keyboard works flawlessly, as well as typing into e.g. the browser's address bar. Also using other browsers such as Firefox works as expected.

At first I thought this was a chat-related feature that prevents the MC user from impersonating as the managed machine's local user in the chat window, but it affects all forms inside Edge, not just the chat.
Then I thought it might be related to the "limited input" permission (which I found no further documentation on), but it even occurs for Full Administrator (server and group) users.

This is a duplicate of #454.

Bryan and I may do some testing on this. If Edge works when the agent is running in temporary mode (just hit "Connect" on install dialog) we may be some possible solution for the future.

Doesn't work in temporary mode for me. 馃槥

Arg! Ok. We need to close one of these since it's a dup. I will close this one and continue on #454. Bryan will need to look into this.
