Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/334

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 1803

Client: Windows 10 1803

Barrier Version

2.2.0-Release-18ac0fe4

Steps to reproduce bug

  1. Try to type on the client using non-latin (RUS\Cyrillic in this case) keyboard layout\letters
  2. Watch how "????" are printed instead of any non latin characters

Other info

I tried Barrier in hopes that this FOSS solution would solve this issue I had with Synergy. It's not, so now I hope that at least it may get fixed sooner?

Basically I can't type on the client in anything but latin characters. It does not seem to support any other layouts, it just prints "?????" instead.

If you have Bulgarian layout installed on two Win7 machines it also doesn't work.
Also the "change layout" short cut isn't being picked up and transfered. It's "alt+shift" by default.

I'm assuming that this bug is fixed by #910 and will close it. If the new version of Barrier (2.3.4, when released) still has this bug, please reopen the issue. Thanks a lot!
