Pressing option+tab+left arrow causes client to crash, option+tab+right arrow behaves incorrectly

Steps

In a remote session, when using the Magic Keyboard pressing option+tab to bring up the window switcher in the remote desktop, while continuing to hold the option key, press the left or right arrow key.

 

Expected behaviour

If the left arrow key is pressed:

  • The selected window in the switcher cycles to the previous window.

If the right arrow key is pressed:

  • The selected window in the switcher cycles to the next window.

Actual behaviour

If the left arrow key is pressed:

  • The RDClient crashes.

If the right arrow key is pressed:

  • The last window is selected and the window switcher goes away despite continuing to hold option.

 

Device details

  • iPad Pro M1 12.9"
  • Magic Keyboard

 

Remote device details

  • Windows 11 Pro, 22H2

 

As a side note, the current experience using an external keyboard and trackpad (like the Magic Keyboard) with RDClient is not very optimised and could be greatly improved.
