This problem makes Pop pretty unusable for us (we're currently evaluating). The only solution is for me to move the mouse cursor to my screen and click then go back to the screen thats shared with me. Then I can type special chars for 10-30 seconds, then I have to do the same manoeuvre again. Extremely frustrating.

I'm also seeing this. I've noticed that if I click back to my computer then back to the remote session it seems I'm able to use these special characters again. But, then if I try to
cmd-tab
or something I loose them. Related to this it seems like I can also no longer cmd-tab
on remote machines.R

I'm also having this issue. Running on an intel MBP, OSX 11.6 and have had this issue with multiple pairs. IIRC they were using built-in macbook keyboards

What hardware keyboards are each of you using?

Noticed this this morning, sharing a display from coworker on MacOS 12.1 to my MacOS 12.0.1 machine. I couldn't type . or /, which made screensharing pretty useless. Both are using US standard keyboard layouts, and both arm64 2021 MBPs. My Pop version is v8.0.35 | v8.0.9 right now, checking a couple hours after the incident.

Yes, this also happened to me. I am on US / AU English Keyboard on a Mac and I couldn't type much useful code on my Peers Brazillian Windows Machine. Also I expected copy and paste to work but that didn't seem to work either. Is that something which could be added as well?
