Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/467

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10
Client: Manjaro linux or/and windows 10

Barrier Version

Currently I'm using 2.3.2, but it is happening since I started use Barrier, on version 2.2.0. Don't know if it happens in older versions.

Steps to reproduce bug

To reproduce you simply type any word with accent (I'm Brazilian, so I use a lot of accents).
This not occour every time, but almost every time, I noted that it happens when the letter with the accent is followed by another letter that can have an accent or when it is followed by a space.

Examples:

Joãõ
é´
está´

Other info

if you cannot reproduce the bug with a us keyboard just change the layout to pt-br abnt2.

I'd like to report the same issue (I'm also Brazilian).

  • Server: Windows 10
  • Client: Windows 10
  • Windows input language: portuguese-BR
  • Keyboard layout (virtual and physical): US (international)

Example:
apostrophe => A => O makes áó
apostrophe => A => [wait] => O makes áo

It's actually a behavior straight from Synergy, but an issue nonetheless.
Hope that these can shed some light on the matter!

Same issue with the "ê"
If you attempt to write "même" the result will be "meme".
Took a lot of time to investigate and to realize that it was related to Barrier

maxbadn, this problem is in fact in the same scope, but not the same thing.
One is doubling the accents and the other (^) is simply non-existent.

Reporting the same issue with version 2.3.3-release-3395cca9, either on server and client sides. Both are Windows 10 (Pro on server, Enterprise on client).

Language is the same on both: Portuguese (Brazil) with Keyboard United States International. I'm using only US keyboards.

Stopping Barrier service immediately makes everything works as expected, without doubling the accents.

I noticed something: if I type a word with accents very fast, it double the accent. However, if I type a little bit slower, it works perfectly. It's like the accents are encoded and sent separately from the other characters.
