Missing characters when typing text over teamviewer

Strange that no one posted this as bug or a question. I have a big problem when using FF in a teamviewer connection (FF v61, latest TV) - when typing text in any text field on any page, some characters are dropped. I get that text is typed slower over a remote connection, but no other programs _drops_ characters. Tested on few pages and situations, I just quickly typed three keys "asdasdasdasdasdasdasd..." and here's the resulting text: 1. FF, address bar - no drops, all text is there 2. FF, random text field on random site, javascript disabled - asadasdadadadadadadadaadasd 3. Chrome, same site - asdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasd 4. FF, specifically crafted site with no js or css, only html with single form - asadasdadasasdas 5. Notepad - of course no dropped characters

Already tried switching hardware acceleration and windows accessibility in options, not helped. Anything I could try to fix it? As things are now, I can't properly type when connected to my PC through TV, too many missing characters if I type at my usual pace

And the strange thing - connecting with RDP to that computer and later reconnecting through Teamviewer solved the problem. Maybe it was network latency or something but still, other programs did not drop characters at that time, only FF did

Did you restart Firefox or the System after the install or between when it started working ?

I restarted Firefox several times, that was when I was connected through RDP. Overall, I can't reproduce the problem, probably it was one-time glitch
