In vSphere 7 Client, in linux VMs' web console, letters raNDomLY Go uPPEr CAse

When I open any linux VMs' Web Console letters randomly go upper case, normally a few upper case characters at a time.

This only affects the Web Console, not Remote Console or SSH.

A google search found a few people who had similar issues with VMware Workstation where you had to add "mks.win32.useInjectedMagic=FALSE" to the VM's vmx file to stop the problem, but my issue is with vSphere vCenter VMs, not VMware Workstation, so adding this option makes no difference.

This only occurs in 1 of our vSphere environments.

Has anyone else come across this and know of a fix?

Do you have the same issue when you opened via VMRC?

No, it is just through the Web Console.

I was trying to avoid installing VMRC everywhere.

The strange thing is that we build our environments with scripted builds so they should all be the same and they do look the same, except this one has this glitch.

Is this happening when typing characters or is it just showing already displayed/typed characters incorrectly?

It happens when I activate the capital letters, if I want to write ARTURO, it is randomly written like this "ARTuRo" or "arTuRO" as an example.
