TheLexiConArtist Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 In the latest update the game automatically places keyboard focus into the search box when the UI is brought up. This applies in places including but not limited to: End of mission UI Dojo research UI Faction vendor UI(s) It is bothersome and unwanted. If I want to filter something, I'll put the focus in there manually. Otherwise it's just going to take some accidental inputs of movement/interact/spacebar and I'm going to have to delete it all back out to see things. In some cases it seems to even cause a full soft-lock (noticed and reproduced with the Dojo Research UI) if the player happens to be holding inputs and triggers search filtering immediately while the interface is still loading in.

maycne.sonahoz Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'd add that, during End of mission, the search box steals the focus from the chat box. Quite frustrating when you're chatting with your teammates at the extraction point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 i have been waiting for Search Box autofocus to be fixed for like, 3, maybe 5 years. the solution, is for entering the menu to sanitize all of your Inputs so a currently active and repeating OnPress is ignored, only a new OnPress is accepted. you can add an extra sanity check for Menu loading too. but having it autofocus on any menu with a Search Bar, is a long broken QoL feature, to remove one click from common scenarios in Menus.

Vesterbro Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 This is such an annoying feature (or bug?) Auto focused on search item in rewards screen is so unnecessary (at least for me). I never once think about searching items. I prefer chat to clan/alliance/party after/while reaching mission ends. Now I feel annoyed because every time I want to chat to party member, it ends up in the search input What if the only item we get is credit? 🤣Please remove the auto focus.

Krilexis Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Yeah got this a lot of times especially when returning from free roam. I want to walk and then in search there is "zzzzzz" xDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DroopingPuppy Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 At least it is happy that I am not alone. It sucks, seriously. And it also occurs on foundry or relics as well, not only the end mission UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krilexis Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Its the first undocumented thing I noticed after the update, seems to indeed trigger in all UIs with search field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeisterKleister Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have a habit of immediately writing "gg" once everyone is in extraction. This past week I've noticed that it now also types into the rewards search box -- sometimes even only in the rewards textbox. This doesn't seem intentional and I think it's hampering. Could you please change it back to the way it was before?😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeisterKleister Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I just made a topic on this. 😅 Yea, it doesn't feel intentional. I find it hampering and annoying. Please change it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaleWin Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This thing is immensely frustrating for everyone that tends to chat at mission end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaleWin Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 It's causing far more harm than good. How often do any of us care to filter mission rewards, anyway? Probably not much compared to how many times we go to use chat after a mission and wind up typing in the search box before noticing the mistake. It's saving exactly one click (as taiiat said above) in a few different scenarios, but far more often is costing much more than one click as we delete our text from the search box and then open up chat to type out our message again.

Xinopia Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I just end up searching for the "push to talk" key i use in discord, a bit frustrating. They could make this a option not to focus search box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radu10 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Still happening to me, during extraction it types on both game chat and the rewards search bar, really annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they change this, Ive never used the filter box and I doubt I ever will, so keep my damn focus in the chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room199 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Agreed. This is very irritating, so often I end up chatting into the search box instead of the chat ui because it’s stolen the focus again. That, and the new end-of-mission screen freezes the whole ui and takes ages to load (what is it loading?). Very annoying Bring back the old end-of-mission screen, it was quick, easy, and I think the majority of players were more than happy with it.

Monsieur_Fromage Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 +1. It's so annoying not being able to use chat while loading. I'm also going to add that there is a delay where no inputs register once you load into your orbiter and the end of mission screen plays (i.e. you can't close the eom screen immediately, you have to wait for the animation that highlights the exit button to play.)
