Description

Hello!

Video of the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0newex80ah9w4i/FB%20Messenger%20Typing%20Stops%20Working.mov?dl=0

I've had an occasional problem in Messenger where backspace will stop working. The only way I've found to fix this is either send the message or restart the app. Anything I can do to help with a fix?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the text input handling in the app, focusing on backspace key events and potential states causing the break. Check NSResponder methods like keyDown: and insertText: to see if there are missing calls or incorrect handling.
