Ubuntu 22.04 Wayland Remote Control Issue – Incorrect Keyboard Mapping in Zoom

Hello!

 

I'm experiencing issues with keyboard input during remote control sessions in Zoom meetings, and it seems related to Wayland.

 

System configuration:

  • OS -> Ubuntu 22.04
  • XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
  • Keyboard Layout -> English (US)
  • Zoom 6.4.6 (1370)

Together with a colleague, who has the same system configuration, we tested all the combinations of Wayland and X11 environments. Only the X11 -> X11 setup worked correctly for us. The other combinations had the following issues:

  • X11 -> Wayland (shared screen) - The letters and numbers are mapped correctly, but it seems that the specials keys (e.g. Ctrl, Alt, Shift) are not triggering any event.
  • Wayland -> X11 (shared screen) - The letters and numbers are mapped correctly, also the special keys seem to work, but some hotkeys are mapped incorrectly (e.g. in an editor -> Ctrl + A does nothing, Ctrl + S closes the window))
  • Wayland -> Wayland (shared screen) - This combination is the worst, only a few keys are mapped correctly (e.g. l ;  ') and there are a lot of keys that do not trigger any event.

We have also tried to enable / disable the XWayland feature in the zoom.conf file, but, unfortunately, it had no effect.

 

I saw that there is this similar issue: problem with keyboard shortcuts in zoom for linux 

 

Do you know if there's a fix for this issue? We'd appreciate any help in resolving it.
