I don't believe that is a new issue in Lazarus though, and not limited
to only VNC connections. For years I've had issues where if I changed my
keyboard layout of X11 via xmodmap, while Lazarus was running, then all
(most) keyboard input in Lazarus is screwed. Other running applications
continue to work fine, but Lazarus not. I have to close Lazarus down and
start it up again before keyboard input works correctly.

I don't know if this relates to VNC, but it might - as VNC (and RDP) can
do keyboard translations on the fly. eg: Me running Dvorak locally,
connecting to a system that has Qwerty setup. VNC and RDP automatically
makes the keystrokes for me, without me having to change the keyboard
layout of the remotely system.
