I'm using the Windows viewer version 3.3.7 on W2K talking to Solaris VNC server version 3.3.6. I'm seeing the exact same problem, but I have only a US keyboard. Periodically the keymapping suddenly switches, and the # sign turns into the British pound currency symbol, double quotes become @ signs, and so on. Restarting the client clears this up, at least for a while, but it's quite annoying. Any suggestions?
