ChrisH0701 there is a bug with the web client where we send a default keyboard layout (ENG US) when initiating the connection. We are actively working to resolve this issue and will push an update to the client as soon as possible. We will have a more definitive ETA soon. 

 

In the meantime, keyboard input should work as expected as the client sends Unicode input by default. Until this fix makes it to production, the proofing language, etc. will be an issue.

Thanks - I'd eventually figured out it must be something like that, and the keyboards are correct like you say, it's the proofing that doesn't work.
I've 'fixed' it temporarily by setting the ignnoreremotekeyboardlayout key in on the session hosts which is forcing everyone to en-GB for now, but I'll revert this when the new client is released as I do have people who will want different regional settings.

 

But good to know it wasn't an issue of my creation!
