Keyboard - characters such as > < etc. are showing up as colon

Dell 7440 laptop and Win8.1 and  TeamViewer 12.0.83369

Keyboard set to ENG  and working fine on the laptop.

However, on TeamViewer, the characters such as > < etc. are showing up as colon.

And typing a colon shows as a non printable character.  And similar such behavior.  

Alphabets and numbers are OK

This likely started happening after I turned on "Send Key Combinations" in ACTION menu.  

However,  I have turned off "Send Key Combinations"  and the short-cut keys are no longer being forwarded to TeamViewer. 

However, the keyboard is messed up.
