Summary

When testing a UEFN map and you are inside of FN (not UEFN) hitting the ENTER key will force FN to go out of and back in to Full Screen mode.

Steps to Reproduce

Run a UEFN session. Have FN be in full screen mode. Once inside of FN and the session is running hit the ENTER key. You will be forced into windowed mode. Hitting the ENTER key again will go back, etc.

Expected Result

The enter key inside of FN should cause the key action that is assigned inside of the FN keyboard setup. This is a major accessibility issue for anyone who uses custom keys.

Observed Result

When inside of FN during a testing session hitting the ENTER key forces FN out of full screen mode and back in if hit again, etc.

Additional Notes

This is happening on all of my maps during testing. This only started happening after the recent update 3/14/24.

Additional Info:

I think this is occurring because I use ALT-TAB to switch from UEFN to FN and then FN thinks that the ALT key is still being held down. So when I hit ENTER it thinks it is a ALT-ENTER which causes the app to exit full screen.

The ALT key is not stuck or being held down. Not sure where the issue is but if tap the ALT key before hitting the enter key it no longer thinks it’s being held down. Not happening in any other apps, though.
