double character typing

I have ESXI 6.5. I am experiencing the double character issue.

I have tried the following changes

Repeated characters when typing in Vmware remote console

VMware Knowledge Base

Repeated characters when typing in remote console (196)

Repeated characters when typing in your VMs remote console?

I have tried to edit the vmx file directly in the web console as well as download, editing and uploading the file. When I try to save the changes using the web the changes won't save.

The VM in question is a Windows 8 VM.

Is there any kind of other esxi/vsphere client that may allow me to do this? I am on a Mac so I was using an alternative to Notepad++ (I used Atom as well as Visual Studio Code).

Attached is screenshot of change made via Notepad++
