VMWare Fusion 3.1

VMWare Fusion 3.1

When I VNC into my mac, then enter text into a virtual machine, the character i enter is repeated until the next character is entered (then that character repeats). This occurs when I VNC to my mac then enter text into a VM, and when I vnc directly into the VM when the mac is managing the VNC session (ie, I use Fusion to enable VNC). This actually happens both with the built-in VNC server and with Vine Server (I run both because Vine provides a faster refresh, but the built-in server lets me do capital letters and other characters that require a "shift" key). When the VM is in bridged mode and it's managing the VNC session itself, I don't encounter this issue.

The issue also does not occur when I RDP into an XP VM (no surprise).

As you can see, the problem is easily circumvented. I just thought I'd pass this along.
