ChatInputBarConfiguration TextBox automatically fires Focused event

[block01352]

Attempting to set a custom TextBox for ChatInputBarConfiguration automatically fires the Focused event. This occurs after assigning a custom TextBox to ChatInputBarConfiguration, and regardless of whether or not you connect the Focused event.

Steps in Studio (a Baseplate template will suffice);

1. Add a ScreenGui with a TextBox object to StarterGui
2. The following can be added to a LocalScript and placed in StarterPlayerScripts:

local LocalPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local PlrGui = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local InputConfig = game:GetService("TextChatService"):FindFirstChildOfClass("ChatInputBarConfiguration")
local ChatBox = PlrGui:WaitForChild("Chatbox")
InputConfig.TextBox = ChatBox.TextBox

InputConfig.TextBox.Focused:Connect(function()
	print"focused"
end)

InputConfig.TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(function()
	print"focuslost"
end)

3. Click Play. Almost immediately on spawn, the Focused event will automatically fire and print "focused" once, without any other input.

When ChatInputBarConfiguration.TextBox is set inside a script, the TextBox is automatically focused and you have to unfocus by yourself, there’s no way to unfocus the TextBox with code since the documentation says that TextBox:ReleaseFocus() is disabled in-engine once ChatInputBarConfiguration is using the TextBox. In the video, the ChatInputBarConfiguration.TextBox is set right after the preloading at the bottom completes. Expected behavior The TextBox should not be focused after setti…

Workaround: Only set the TextBox as a Chatbar when the user clicks it the first time, problem solved.
