keyboard input sometimes loses or drops characters when typing in Windows VM running on Mac? I'm running Win11 using UTM on MacOS Sequoia 15.2.
I was typing in commands in PowerShell and occasionally I can't type certain letters? I was trying to type "clear" at the PowerShell prompt - and it would come out as "lear". I could
Ctrl-C
and Ctrl-V
and that worked. I found I could type Shift-C
and type "Clear" which worked and then all of a sudden I could use the "c" key again.
Bizzare. Anyone else seen this and know of the cause / fix?
UPDATE: using UTM v4.6.3 running their QEMU 7.2 ARM virtual machine image (virt-7.2) with utm-guest-tools-latest.iso installed. Win11 image using CrystalFetch.
Running ver in CMD reports: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26100.2605]
Keyboard works fine in macos. no special keyboard mappings.
It only happens infrequently but so far it's happened 2x in Powershell 7.4.6
