Typing "/" in chat causes duplicate characters

When using the Roblox Client, typing a slash (“/”) key into the chat input causes the slash key to duplicate, making it very annoying to execute slash commands, whisper to someone, or simply use a slash in the message.

Here are videos in both the new TextChatService and LegacyChatService experiencing this issue:



In both videos, you can see that slashes are duplicated, but other characters are not.

Expected behavior

Here is another video showing me typing slashes into TextEdit (Mac text editor), and also the expected result.

I’m running macOS Sonoma 14.5 for the past couple of months, with no issues until now.

Can’t reproduce. Maybe a Mac issue?

I have not tested this on Windows or any other platform, so it’s possible this only occurs on macOS.

This is still actively occurring on my mac as well as many other people’s. Hope this can be resolved ASAP as it makes typing commands, chatting, and more very tedious.

Seems to be a mac keyboard issue, can someone with a mac keyboard on windows or vice versa test? it could either be mac keyboard or macos

It’s definitely not macOS here. As mentioned, I tested it in TextEdit and this started occurring even though I have not installed any system updates at the time.
