Linux – Why is the Linux ICA client unable to use the “CTRL” key

citrixlinux

I have the Citrix ICA/receiver client installed on on both my windows an Linux workstations. On my Windows workstation I can use common keyboard shortcuts like CTRL-A, CTRL-C, CTRL-Z etc. On the Linux workstation no CTRL shortcuts work, but ALT shortcuts for menus do. How do I get CTRL to work in the Linux receiver?

OK, this is solved. It turns out to be an issue with the Gnome mouse settings (System->Preferences->Mouse). If you have selected "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed" then it won't pass Ctrl key presses to Citrix. This doesn't affect any of my other applications, including RDP clients, so I'm not sure why this is an issue for Citrix
