Using the onscreen keyboard in Chrome always has a chance to freeze the whole system while typing.

[Dr. Deadbeat]

This bug has been present for months since I first got my Steam Deck. It seems completely random when it happens, but always happens when you use it enough. During a freeze the screen freezes and you can't do anything except force shutdown. Was really hoping updates would catch it eventually, as many of my messages get lost to it.

same issue

[Dr. Deadbeat]

Still have this issue as well. I switched to using the default keyboard as I was using a skin before, but the issue persists. Sometimes I can quickly can quickly cancel out of it if I think it is about to crash by hitting the steam button, I think it's refreshing something on the library side that causes it.

[Dr. Deadbeat]

Crashes have been getting insanely frequent as of late

[Shockwave S08]

Still happening, but gets even worse if you're on the Beta build, as the keyboard and/or Game Mode client will never come back if this happens, unless you force a reboot with the power button.

Bumping out of neccessity. This issue is so pervasive that I'm doing everything to minimize keyboard usage and avoid lockups/crashes. If anyone at Valve sees this, this needs to be high-priority.

[Shockwave S08]

Bumping, because it happened to me yet again, and I'm getting sick and tired of it!

[Shockwave S08]

Why is this still not fixed!?

[CarajoEsp]

I have this bug also.

[CarajoEsp]

Its still there. Pls Valve help us. We have video proof of the problem.

I have been having this issue as well. Normally I can go days without my steam deck locking up from trackpad typing but today it keeps happening. I use the trackpad typing all of the time and it is one of my favorite things about the steam deck. Please Valve, fix this. I don't want my steam deck to freeze when I use the trackpads to type.

Also happens in Discord, which happens to be based on Electron, which iirc means it's using basically the same core engine as Chrome.

Bumping this, I also have this issue quite often.

[Shockwave S08]

Valve starts fixing it, we stop bumping it. Simple as.

[Dr. Deadbeat]

The crashing itself is fixed, instead the keyboard starts lagging a ton after a while. This is still very preferable to losing messages and whatnot from a forced shutdown, so I'm happy.

Same in Firefox and desktop mode in general. Compiled a list of issues and made a thread too. Weirdly enough it works like a charm as long as you don't use it in desktop mode
