[macos] mouse and keyboard aren't functional after screenshot #341

Describe the bug

After screenshot (e.g., ⌘ + shift + 4 of the window with KasmVNC), the VNC session does not register keyboard and mouse events properly. It appears to be a key that is stuck (and I think it is alt).

This may be related to #236.
