Confirmed. The issue is specific to OS X 10.7+ and is related to the "lovely" feature whereby pressing a letter will pop up a menu of accented versions of that letter for you to choose from. The workaround is to type the following on the command line prior to launching TurboVNC Viewer:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false This setting should be persistent, i.e. you don't have to type it each time you log in or run the viewer. You can get back the old behavior by typing defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true I did some googling and wasn't able to find any way to control this programmatically from within the Java viewer (it would probably require something more low-level, like reading the input events from JNI. Ugh. No thanks.)
