Hi

I am using MacOS RDP client from Microsoft to connect to my work PC from my MacBook laptop and in my setup I am using Apple Magic keybaord (full size). With this keyboard it was always difficult to set the consistent state of numlocking - I use numlock off mode to use numerical keypad as navigational one (habit from old days). However the state of it upon starting RDP was always inconsistent and set to numerical mode on connection and every time I stitch between Mac apploication and RDP session. I could however set it to navigational mode using top key on numerical pad area corresponding to NumLock on standard non-Apple keyboards. That worked up until  last update - now it always sets it to numerical mode and does not let me change it at all. Please revert this behavior back or better yet give RDP connection a configurational option to be able to specify the default state of Numlock.

I found that the issue was that last RDP update switched my keyboard mode from scancodes to unicode and that was what was causing keyboard woes. In scancode mode it works fine although the numlock state still flips everytime I switch between RDP session window and another macOS application.
