Restricted On-Screen keyboard functionality?

[toddfx]

Is there any known reason that would keep a bunch of keys from working on the Windows on-screen keyboard?

With default EQ control key assignments, the arrow keys, numeric keypad (except 0?), and the page up/down/home/end cluster seem to be disabled within EQ.

F1-12, all letters, alt/ctl/shift, spacebar, esc, num-lock, and the 0 key on numeric pad all seem to function properly.

However, the keys that are disabled seem to be the ones bound to specific character movements. For example if I bind the "I" key to move forward and bind the "up arrow" to open inventory, the "I" key no longer functions yet the up arrow key opens the inventory just fine!

This leads me to believe there is a lockout in place on EQs end that keep you from using on-screen keyboards to control your character. Is this true?

I ran into this problem while using remote desktop, but have confirmed the problem exists in EQ no matter what. Also, everything about the on-screen keyboard functions as normal in other Windows applications, with and without remote desktop enabled. I have downloaded alternative virtual on-screen keyboards and run into the same problem.
