Mobile Text Input GetPropertyChangedSignal Bug

[ThePoinball]

When we auto correct the User Input ( in my case its to limit the input to Number Only ) we have to use the GetPropertyChangedSignal on the Text Input.
On PC and Console it works well, but on mobile, it seems like the input are always duplicated

Here is a Code Example of the usage of GetPropertyChangedSignal :

NewInput.TextPromp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	NewInput.TextPromp.Text = NewInput.TextPromp.Text:gsub(OptionInfo.TextConstraint or "", "")
end)

A lot of other devs are having the same problem, Here is a post that is 1 year old with the same issue : TextBoxes typing problem - #25 by ThePoinball

I think its a high priority problem since it impact all Mobile users in games that are using auto correct Inputs

Expected behavior

The output on Mobile is suppose to return exactly what the user typed.

Right now if the user type : 8
it will write in the text box : 888

Hi @ThePoinball - apologies, I’m having trouble reproducing this. Would you have a moment to share a test place that reproduces the issue?

[ThePoinball]

Sure, Here it is.
You will have to play on Mobile and on the Published Experience to be able to reproduce the Bug since in Studio we dont have access to the Mobile keyboard for unknowned reasons!

The TextBox Only allow Numbers, Here is the Code for it!

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local localPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local ScreenGui = localPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")

local TextBox = ScreenGui.Frame.TextBox

TextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	TextBox.Text = TextBox.Text:gsub("[^%d,kmb]", "")
end)

I wasnt able to reproduce with my Iphone today strangly. I asked one of my player to test and they also have an Ipone and was able to reproduce but it took several time.

was there a fix applied on that Recently?

Hi @ThePoinball thank you for providing additional details. We are unaware of a fix that was deployed specifically for this issue, however its possible that an unrelated fix was deployed that may have impacted how this bug behaves.

We hope to provide more details soon as we continue to investigate, and may have some follow up questions for you! Thanks.
