Samsung DeX Typing Issue

I started using a Samsung DeX in the office several month ago. It's a great accesary for the Samsung S8+. Not only for the end-point replacement while using Horizon, but simply interasting with the native apps on the device.

That said, I've noticed an odd issue while working in a VDI session. Using our corportate Horizon 6 Windows 7 desktops, I get this "re-type" issue sporatically on my DeX. While using Microsoft Outlook or Word, the sentance I'll be typing will "re-write" itself when adding punctuation. Really odd and frustrating.

Has anyone seen this? I work in VDI a lot. I use my MacBook Pro equally in VDI and have not seen this issue.

See below for an example. I was typing the same line over and over again. Four of the line "re-wrote" after punctuation.

I have not been able to replicate this using native apps, including Micrsoft products, locally on the DeX. This only occurs using VDI.

****** This is actual test typing in Microsoft Outlook ******

I have the same issue. Ive tested on the S8 and Note 8 running Dex. Updates to the horizon client on android have never resolved the issue. I have discussed it with VMWare and they said its a Samsung issue. I mentioned it to Samsung at VMWorld and they said its a VMWare issue. Typical.

Is there a way to log a bug with VMware? This issue is so annoying it rendered the whole solution useless....

I tried disabling all the auto keyboard features under the Samsung keyboard settings and it seems to have stop the issue.  (predictive text and auto spell, etc..)

Good Morning,

Thanks for your feedback. Where are these settings? I do not see "Predictive Text" or "Auto Spell".

Thanks,

Mike
