VR Chatbox keyboard makes you respawn/recalibrate fbt
needs more information
shiro³
When you're typing in VR it can occasionally respawn you, or make you recalibrate if you're in FBT when you press on some letters. I'm not sure how to exactly reproduce it, but it happens much more often in FBT and when your keyboard is a little bit down, super annoying. And when it makes you go in calibration state you can't type anymore, until you close keyboard, and finish calibration.

I can confirm this issue is very much still present. Many of my mute friends have just gotten used to the issue and will try and workaround this by moving their text box away from the seemingly invisible quick menu, which as you can imagine isn't ideal.
A lot of us assumed that VRChat devs were aware of this issue, as it's common enough that most mute VRChat players know how to workaround this when it happens, and have all been waiting for the eventual update that fixes it.
Most of my friends have explained that if you try using the VRChat keyboard for a couple hours or so, you're nearly guaranteed to run into this. If more information is needed, and the devs are unable to, I can try and reproduce the issue at some point with a video to highlight what's happening.

Would it be possible to clarify what further information this needs to remain tracked? This is an issue I run into at least once a week so I'd like it to be fixed but I don't know what more info to provide that isn't already present.
I would happily investigate this issue further if given some direction.

StormRel Its been happening off and on since the chatbox was introduced and I run into it a couple times a week, but I don't know exactly what triggers it. So yes and no.
The only details I'm certain of are that this occurs because an invisible Quick Menu appears on top of the chatbox keyboard, and that it remains this way until you rejoin the world. I've also never experienced this in desktop mode.
To help eliminate as many variables as possible here are some extra details for my case:
- I use the A button on my left Index controller to open the chatbox.
- I have the 'responsive menus' setting enabled and my MM/chatbox windows are 'unlocked'.
- I don't have the best PC so low framerates might be involved, my lowest average is ~20.
- I only ever notice this issue pop up after a couple dozen messages have been sent. As far as I know this is caused by interacting with it and doesn't start occurring on its own upon joining a world.
- I often 'interrupt' the Main Menu and Quick Menu using my chatbox button to close them, this may have something to do with it, but I haven't been able to induce it this way manually so I'm not sure.
Hope that helps. I'll try to remember to grab a recording of the issue next time I run into it.

I'll also note that a similar thing happens where the right half of the chatbox will sometimes become completely unresponsive unless moved over to the side. It's very possible these are related as they showcase similar behaviour. I assume they're both examples of invisible Quick Menus appearing over the chatbox.
If it helps with investigation, I only open the chatbox using the dedicated controller keybind.

Can confirm this issue is still present. There are some very rare cases where the chatbox seems to meld into one with an invisible Quick Menu, causing accidental interactions with QM UI.
