OK, then at least the keyboard layout should not be an issue.

On our side the new behavior works very well under different scenarios
(including RDP and Citrix). Can you please give me some additional
details about your environment (Windows version, input devices, Java
version, virtual or real machine)?

Disclaimer: I'm the author of the layout detection feature and hence
very interested in those details :-)

Title:
  Keyboard commands don't send when AutoDetectKeyboardLayout=True

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  Sikuli 2.0.2

  I had been previously using SikuliX 1.1.3 and noticed upon updating to
  1.1.4 / 2.0.2 that my keyDown/keyUp and type commands were no longer
  registering in the target application. There were no errors logged in
  debug and Sikuli did report that it was pressing the desired key but
  there was no response from the application.

  I went digging through the source files and landed on the method
  'doKeyPress' in RobotDesktop.java.  Looking at how behavior changed
  between 1.1.3 and 2.0.2 I noticed that when
  AutoDetectKeyboardLayout=True it will attempt to send the key using
  'User32.INSTANCE.SendInput' and otherwise it falls back to the same
  behavior that 1.1.3 had.

  Once I set 'Settings.AutoDetectKeyboardLayout=False' at the start of
  my script Sikuli started behaving as expected and was able to send key
  commands into the target application again.

  Not sure if this is so much a bug but I've seen numerous reports of
  people having issues with RDP and Citrix sessions where they needed to
  run as administrator and other workarounds. Of note the application I
  am targeting is NOT a remote desktop window or similar application,
  but it seems to ignore inputs the same as those applications.  Perhaps
  something in the documentation to let people know that some
  applications might require AutoDetectKeyboardLayout=False, or an
  option that enforces the old behavior used in versions prior to 1.1.4
  that doesn't require disabling auto detection of keyboard layout?
