Steps to reproduce bug

Change the computer using mouse or a configured hotkey
Go back to the Windows computer
Bug occurs: accents stop working

Other info

When did the problem start to occur? When I started using Barrier
Is there a way to work around it? Kind of. If I change the keyboard language two times, the accents start working again
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? No
In Mac accents continue to work well
Accents buttons don't do anything
In Windows 10 Outlook Email, when writing an email and try to use the bugged acute accent, the "Format" button is focused
