On the French 'Azerty' keyboards, there is a key for the circumflex accent '^' just on the right of the 'p' letter. It is used to input accented letters: you press that key first, nothing appears on screen, then you press a vowel letter like 'o' and the accented letter 'ô' appears on screen.

When Barrier is not running, if I very quickly press 3 keys like 'r', '^' and 'o', the result is 'rô' which is the normal and expected output on screen.
When Barrier is running, pressing the same keys very quickly sometimes generate the following bad output:
On the server site, I get 'ro' instead of 'rô'. Looks like the '^' key press is ignored.
On the client side, I get 'r^ô' instead of 'rô'. Looks like the '^' key press is doubled.

I use Barrier 2.3.3 with two up-to-date Windows 10 computers.
The issue occurs in any application where you can enter text.

Exactly the same issue with same OS and Barrier version but using Brazilian regular Querty keyboard (ABNT2). The typing speed interferes with the accentuation.
