Description

Hello,

This issue doesn't appear via direct RDP. 

When entering special characters in some (it seems QT programmed) applications like Wireshark and Primenote.cc , the special characters get locked to the first character entered. Whatever (special)character is typed next will be the same as the first... Until a capital special character is typed. Then the next small one is fine but all after it are again the same ones.

I attached 2 Gifs. One with German and Turkish layout. This issue also appears on our own (QT) programmed application, therefore we already tried to resolve it with QT. But as it works fine via RDP we think it's more correlated with Guacamole.

As the initial Chars are correct and in other applications work correctly, we assume it's a bug and not a config mistake?

As we train german customers for our software, this causes quite some confusion for them. 

Please don't hesitate to contact us in case of questions.
Thank you for your time and effort and cool project.
