Chat types '/' when opening chat with the slash key

When opening the TextChatService UI with the slash hotkey, it types the slash in chat. This happens 90% of the time when opening chat via hotkey. It seems like some kind of timing issue with UserInputService code (I’ve had identical issues happen in custom code that was fixed with a task.wait())

Expected behavior

The chat to not type the ‘/’ key, just like Legacy Chat

i remember this happening a lot in combat warriors (they used the newer chat a long time before most others) and my messages would cut off unless i waited for the rest of the message to appear on the chat bar

i also noticed the messages cutting off in the latest update, the new chat is a buggy mess

it’s always been cutting off in the new chat if you get lower than average FPS, which the old one didn’t do.

why was the switch to the “new” chat needed? if anything the old one was miles better

liability things, specifically new privacy settings

could they not just fix those small issues instead of replacing the whole system?

no, the ability to fork the chat meant that some games would not have privacy options or could bypass them. that was a massive liability and would mean games would need to rebase every time a new privacy or parental controls thing was added

A change was reverted ~ 1 hour ago related to text input signals. Can someone confirm if they are still experiencing the issue after restarting Roblox?

My oh my, I am experiencing the same issue after a year now… This has been so annoying, I’ve been looking for settings, anything… Nothing works. Whenever I type the “/” to easily type in chat it pulls up the default commands like /clear, etc. (which is already annoying enough); and when I click backspace to remove that menu, the “/” key automatically appears… It’s so annoying, please fix this ASAP.

Edit: This bug occurred earlier all of the sudden.
