Getting better, but some regression

MS RDP still performs very well, however, for me, this version seems to have regressed with respect to using the Shift key when I start a Remote Desktop Connection from a host which I’m using the OS X Screen Sharing app to reach (My Mac -> Screen Sharing to another Mac -> Remote Desktop to Windows Host). When using the on-screen keyboard, I can see that the Shift key press is coming through, but when I press, say, the ‘4’ key to get the ‘$’ symbol, it seems like it is too much to handle and the Shift gets dropped when I press the ‘4’ key. I should add that I am able to write ‘$’ on the ‘other Mac’ when not in the RD window.

However, if I replace Screen Sharing with VNC viewer, I don’t get this issue. Also, this didn’t seem to be a problem for the version I had prior to 8.0.30 (probably 8.0.29). I also seem to recall this being a recurring problem with past versions of RD. One version fixing it, then the next breaking it, then it gets fixed again.

So, I am assuming the blame here lies more on RD.
