Area(s) with issue?

Quick Accent

Steps to reproduce

  1. In settings, set the activation key to include Space
  2. Lock your Windows session
  3. Press Space (I usually do that to bring up the prompt for PIN code)
  4. Notice that Space didn't have any effect (that's already an anomaly), so press another key instead, or click with your mouse
  5. Do whatever is necessary to unlock (enter PIN or password, etc.)

✔️ Expected Behavior

  • Space should work as usual in the lock screen
  • The quick accent bar should not appear and stay stuck when unlocking the session after having pressed Space in the lock screen

❌ Actual Behavior

Once the session is unlocked, you will notice that the quick accent bar appears and stays stuck, the only way I found to remove it is to disable (temporarily) the feature in settings.
