Can't type characters requiring the shift key on some remote sessions

I am using GTR Desktop Console 1.61.95 on Mac 12.6.3. When I connect to some unattended machines, different Windows OS's, 10, 11, 2012r2, 2016, 2019, 2022 - I can't type uppercase or special characters requiring the shift key. I try switching preferences between local and remote keyboard settings, but that doesn't make a difference.

    Same issue for me. I cant enter passwords because the screen will change focus when entering a special character

      I have combined these posts as they seem to be the same issue. 

       

      550c can you please provide some more details about what you are experiencing? 

      • Is this happening with specific characters, if yes which ones?
      • Are you entering the characters in an application window or a browser window, does it make a difference?
      • When the screen changes focus, what does it change focus to? (maybe a hotkey combination is being triggered)

        Hello, the issue occurs within the GoToResolve desktop application. It occurs when I select either shift and try to type the @ symbol. It stopped for a while so I didn't come back to check this post but yesterday it started again and I was unable to log in to a system. I do see the little transparent special symbol tabs appear when selecting shift. It takes me to the devices window but it will frequently cause the program to hang for a bit and sometimes the current sessions will stop connecting.

    I'm having the random issue where when typing in a password at an elevated prompt, characters where I need to hit the Shift key are not inputted.  I've only seen this behavior when typing in my admin password on a user's machine that does not have admin access.  I have not tested inputting the characters in general when not at a prompt.

        Hey KateG!  These are all Windows 10 or Windows 11 machines.
