Good Day Steve!
Did you discover a solution for this OWA dropping keystrokes problem? My organization has been experiencing a similar (if not exactly the same) issue for some time now.
We suspected Sophos was somehow involved, but could never nail it down.
If you are still experiencing the problem, perhaps we could compare to find commonalities.
Please let me know either way.
Thank you!
Daniel
