<@U03ED7UNVFH> Please tell me your setup. Are you using a physical Linux machine? or a Linux virtual machine inside a windows host? Or are you remotely connecting to some Linux server?

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

<@U03ED7UNVFH> what software are you using to connect to the linux server? Thank you

OK, my operating system is windows8.1 and i am connecting to the Linux server using Chrome Remote Desktop.

<@U016G1URZGA> (<@U016EM8L91B> ) Thank you Mohamed for the test, it is clear that the XKeyEvent when using remote connection is not reporting X and Y mouse coordinates when a key is pressed. I see negative values, the X11 standard requires that the X and Y coordinates of the mouse relative to window where keyboard event happened are reported.
``` int x, y;       /* pointer x, y coordinates in event window *```
The same test program correctly reports X and Y mouse position relative to windows on ButtonPress events.
I need to find on stackoverflow if there is some solution to this. A user who had the exact same issue using vmware got his problem solved after a vmware upgrade. In that case it was thus a bug in the virtualization software.
