I had to modify my Win 7 Home Premium box in order to test this (as it doesn't support RDC connections), but I did, and was able to confirm the problem. I'm not sure we'll be able to fix it, but at least now we can take a look at it.

Thanks; we'll look into it, but we may not be able to do anything about it. We'll let you know what we find.

It happens when MS RDC is the frontmost app - Ie when the keystrokes are 
going to the RDC app.

Are you saying this happens when the Microsoft client is frontmost, or are you saying that these keystrokes are eaten whenever the clients is even running?

When running a keystroke action, modifiers are dropped 
Eg : ( shift; ) becomes ;
Since keystrokes work everywhere else it would appear to be a problem with 
Microsofts client, wondering if there is a way to work around this.
