VRChat keyboard frequently crashes when clicking
available in future release
nuruwo
In desktop mode, VRChat keyboard close randomly (about once every two times) when clicking on the orange area of the attached image.
This seems to be the same whether it's a normal InputField or a VRC_InputField.
This issue has been occurring for about a week. (Probably around the time the Japanese UI was added.)
This issue is causing problems as it means that copy and paste using the keyboard is no longer possible, so please fix this.
supplement: This phenomenon occurs in any world, but I created a demo world just in case.

Truce , I pinged you because this issue seems related to IME handling, which we discussed recently in another post ( https://feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/1454-lacks-the-converting-range-indicators-and-the-editing-cursor-with-japanese ).
If I click the orange area while the IME is converting the text. It completes the converting process (this is fine as normal behavior of IME-enabled apps), and after that, the orange area doesn't cause a close (that is, no problem happens anymore). So, I guess this issue deeply relates to IME event handling.
However, on my environment, the app works differently compared with this post author nuruwo's report.
- No randomness. It always closes like pressing the close button or doesn't close.
- The paste button works fine. It pastes the text and doesn't close. The claim "paste using the keyboard is no longer possible" is not true on my env.
- The copy button copies the text, but it closes.
- As chiugame mentioned, the shift key button closes too.
- (Additional info) The client build-in input fields, such as in the chatbox, search tab, and settings tab behave the same.
The reason for the difference might depend on the slightly different behavior of the IME implementation and/or its settings. I use Windows 11 Microsoft Japanese IME.

Buttons circled in red have no problems, buttons circled in blue have problems.
