Keyboard in Citrix

Ever since I installed Parallels Desktop 7, I get the wrong keyboard in all my Citrix applications. In OS X I have Swedish keyboard, in Windows XP running in Paralells I have Swedish keyboard, but for some reason this isn't carried over to Citrix any longer, where I get US keyboard.

I have tried fiddling around with the keyboard settings in both Parallels and Windows, but to no avail.

Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?
 
Hi MattiasL,
I do face the same problem. Since I've upgraded to version 7 - my Windows7 Ultimate does have the correct keyboard settings - but as soon I do open a CITRIX-Session in my Windows I'll get the US keyboard layout. I have this behaviour with two of my clients accessing their landscapes via CITRIX.

So - solution appreciated. Have you posted something to the support?

"Good" to hear I'm not alone.

But no, I have not contacted support in this matter yet, I've been hoping a future Parallels hotfix/update would take care of this annoyance.

Edit: Reported this to Parallels and got this reply:

"I would like to suggest you as Swedish Keyboard Layout is working fine in MAC OS and on Parallels Virtual Machine,kindly contact Citrix for further assistance."

Not the answer I was looking for, since it has worked just fine in Parallels Desktop 4, 5 and 6, with the same OS image...

Edit 2: Ok, now I finally got Swedish keyboard in Citrix!

My solution: Set all regional settings in the guest OS to something other than your normal settings (I chose Norway/Norwegian) and reboot the guest OS. After that I actually got Norwegian keyboard in my Citrix applications. Switched back all the regional settings to Sweden/Swedish, rebooted again and now I finally have the correct (Swedish) keyboard layout in Citrix.

Hi MattiasL,

I had given up and thought - okay - let's wait until the next update :-).
So I will try your recommendation/solution. Thank you very much for
your support. I will let you know the result.

Cheers...

The solution did not work for my configuration.

So I'll give it a try to parallels support :-(.
