Re: Problem with the keypad after utilizing RWW

We also ran into this problem with our ThinkPad laptops and RWW. RWW occasionally toggles the Numlock on the laptop's keyboard. I have not been able to figure out what triggers the toggle. This happens rarely but is very disconcerting when it happens. Also, I use the Microsoft "English - International" layout in which some keys must behave as "dead keys" to type accents, but that does not work in RWW. Oh well...

It's part of RDP. The keyboard is changed to match that of the remote keyboard, otherwise the remote experience would be rather strange (imagine [say] a French PC [azerty keyboard] being used to control a US PC [qwerty] - the French person typing an A expects to see an A, not a Q).
