Double caret in place of circumflex accent : ê becomes ^^e

On my PC, Windows Vista Business (french-belgian keyboard), after the installation of myPhoneDesktop, it was no more possible to enter the characters with circumflex (ê) or ë, in any editing program (Word, Excel, notepad,...). A first look on forums indicated the possible presence of a virus, but my antivirus was ok. Uninstalling myPhoneDesktop solved the problem (and I didn't reinstall it back, of course, since there is no way to type text in French...).
For example : typing ê produced ^^e

I am having the same issue... I have a Windows XP, language Portuguese and if I start the myPhoneDesktop client, I keep getting echo when I type characters with accents. If I exit the myPhoneDesktop client application, then everything becames normal again.
For example: because of this issue, when I try to type "é", I am getting " ´´e " instead. Same thing when I try to type: " ê ", and I am getting: " ^^e ". Please fix this. Otherwise I won't be able to use this App.
Please check my comments and temporary workaround in: http://support.myphonedesktop.com/entries/112291-e-became-e-for-exa...
Just an update: looks like we've fixed this issue. The fix will be avalilable in the upcoming release v1.4
Thank you for your time, help and patience.
