Type Text doesn’t work with MS Remote Desktop

[skurfer]

The below has been fixed by #1827. The only outstanding issue is outlined in the last comment here

---

It inserts an ‘s’ for every character typed.

Probably something in #1536

An edge case maybe, but Remote Desktop is actually one of the most useful places for this action, since clipboard communication isn’t always reliable.

So #1536 introduced this bug?
If it's a v1.2.0 show stopper then we need to figure out a fix. Any ideas?
Any way I can test without remote desktop?

[skurfer]

I haven’t had time to look into it much. If I find another app that’s affected, I’ll let you know. Any ideas what I can check on my end?

[skurfer]

For what it’s worth, I can reproduce this using CoRD, too. It doesn’t seem to happen in other MS applications or in Carbon applications.

I have reopened this, since #1827 didn't fully fix this.

It seems that for certain apps that can't deal with unicode strings properly, certain characters get mangled. See @skurfer's one remaining problem
