@Tim Edwards. @Stefan Schippers Thanks in advance

You're doing this through a virtual machine? I was having a conversation with Stefan earlier about problems with the keystrokes getting the correct pointer coordinates. It seems to be related to the use of a virtual machine.

Thank you for kind reply. I am connecting Linux server remotely.

Yes, but what server? The X11 implementation is probably at fault; it may be very specific to the virtual machine being used.

@mkk can you please tell us what server?
m
it is a cloud host on Google with tiger vnc server and novnc

@mkk, can you please connect using a tigervnc viewer (or any other vnc viewer) instead of a browser? so we know if the issue is client side or server side.
@mkk i have run a tigervnc server on one machine, accessing the session from another machine using a vnc viewer, placing wires works fine. I also tried tunnelling X thru a ssh connection and this works fine as well. I was trying now to access the vnc session from inside a browser using novnc (--> https://novnc.com/noVNC/vnc.html ) The browser shows a Connect button, however there is no way to tell the novnc client where to connect to, and i found no info anywhere on how to tell novnc the server address. [Edit] I have read i need to run a websocket proxy that points to the vncserver address, run the novnc web page and connect. But this is little beyond my knowledge.
