The issue you are seeing is a known issue in Chrome under Windows: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31463
When the mouse cursor is set to a transparent image, Chrome under Windows will instead render that as a completely opaque black square. You are encountering this when you press a key because the application within the remote desktop is hiding the mouse cursor when you use the keyboard.
