UMG text entry right click (context menu) causing crash

Development Programming & Scripting UI

This bug is very easy to reproduce and is caused by the summoning of the copy/paste context menu when right clicking on a UMG widget in a standalone build while in full screen…

To reproduce start a blank project, create a UMG text entry box widget (any UMG widget that allows text entry should work). Have this displayed on screen. Now either run as a standalone ‘or’ build and run the standalone, make the game full screen and now right click. The game will usually crash but sometimes forces the game into windowed mode or to minimize.

I’d also like to sneak in an easy-to-implement suggestion and have the option to disable the right click context menu all together as the context menu is always in “default” UE4 format and breaks the flow of the ui.

Hello Chaoss,

I was unable to reproduce this issue on my end. I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

  1. What version of the engine are you using?
  2. Can you reproduce this in a clean project?
  3. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this on our end?

using 4.7

yes I can

Summoning the context menu causes the game to go into a window, on some computers this can cause a crash. It is the same bug as the drag & drop crash

Hello Chaoss,

I am still unable to reproduce this issue on our end. Would it be possible for you to provide your dxdiag?
