Why does CaptureFocus stop working after pressing enter on a TextBox?

I have assigned the letter “T” to focus on a TextBox using UserInputService, and it works. However, if you are focused on the TextBox and you press Enter to lose its focus, pressing “T” no longer properly focuses on the TextBox. Does anyone know how to fix this?

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local ChatFrame = script.Parent
local MsgBox = ChatFrame:WaitForChild("MsgBox")

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, GameProccessedEvent)
	if not GameProccessedEvent then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then
			MsgBox:CaptureFocus()
		end
	end
end)

I tested that script in studio and had no issues.

When I joined your test place it was broke just like you said. The problem is focus is not being returned, I had to click the screen then press T for it to work again. Can’t pinpoint the problem with this script alone.

The problem here is that it doesn’t lose focus when you press the Enter button, but instead put inside the textbox as a character so the cursor goes outside the vision. You might want to prevent that from happening by setting MsgBox.MultiLine to false.
