Last word of a message in TextChatService chat input box doesn't display sometimes

Reproduction Steps

1. Join a Roblox game with TextChatService chat enabled
2. Type a message like the following:

words can get cut off when i type long sentences like this one

the last word of a sentence can get cut off sometimes like this

  1. Observe that the last word in the sentence doesn’t appear in the input box/message preview

Expected Behavior

I expect my message to appear on the new line below as soon as my text can’t fit in the box.

Actual Behavior

In this video I type “the last word of a sentence can get cut off sometimes like this” and as I’m typing the word “this” at the end it gets cut off. I then send the message and it includes the hidden text.

Workaround

I can add more text to the message and it’ll correctly use a new line, but this often requires adding a word or a number of spaces to the end of my message.
