Text functions, for instance, the HUD message device, don't work on xbox, unless you plug in a usb keyboard.

Summary

When I go to edit text, I am unable to make edits, or save. When I try to exit the text box, it doesn’t let me, unless I mash all the buttons on my controller until it lets me go.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Devices

Steps to Reproduce

  • Open creative mode on an xbox (maybe any console)
  • Open the devices menu, and pull out a HUD device.
  • Try to edit, and save the text.

Expected Result

I have the expectation to be able to write a message in the text box, and and save the message in the text box. With this bug, I am unable to do that.

Observed Result

The result of placing down a HUD Message Device, and trying to edit the text will often lead to nothing happening. You’ll press the button to edit the text, but nothing will happen. If you try to exit the text screen, it will keep you from exiting unless you mash enough to move your character away from the device. You can’t leave the game either, as the text editing screen prevents you from reaching the back to lobby tab.

Platform(s)

Xbox is the platform I use, but it may be a problem on other platforms to.

Additional Notes

I personally don’t have any video, but I found someone on reddit who is dealing with the same problem.
