RDP Client - incorrect keyboard shortcut action in German localization
In the above dialog, when any of the checkbox controls has the focus, ALT+V toggles the state of the checkbox. ALT+V obviously should trigger "Verbinden" (Connect) instead. But not when the dialog first appears, i.e. none of the controls has the focus. Then ALT+V does nothing. As long as any chekbox control has the focus, ALT-V toggles its state. If the command button "Abbrechen" has the focus, ALT-V does nothing, i.e. ALT-V never triggers "Verbinden" except the command button "Verbinden" itself has the focus.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start RDP client to connect to a remote machine
- Press ALT-Z -> "Zwischenablage" will be checked as expected
- Press ALT-Z again -> "Zwischenablage" will be unchecked as expected
- After any of the two steps above, press ALT-V -> "Zwischenablage" will be toggled instead of triggering "Verbinden"
- Same goes for "WebAuthn".
Depending on the devices on the local machine an the RDP settings for sharing those, their might be more options with checkbox. I suspect those to behave similarly wrong when pressing ALT-V. The OS doesn't seem to make a difference. I see the same behavior on both Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.
