I have the same problem too and no idea how to resolve it right now.
Hello.
I am trying to make a umg world placed widget with a text box that has to be edited by receiving keyboard inputs. I followed the tutorial in the ue4 documentation (https://docs.unrealengine.com/…/H…/InWorldWidgetInteraction/).
Find a video in the following link with the process so anybody can check if I did something wrong. (- YouTube).
I also added a button to the widget for testing, and the button works well, but the text box is not receiving inputs other than special keys (numeric pad and weird symbol keys. With the numeric pad I can type letters, which is also weird, by the way). Later on I noticed that if I double right click on the text box then it starts working until I left click in any other widget.
This was working for me before the addition of the WidgetInteraction component in the 4.13.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I have a similar issue in VR on 4.18, i can’t seem to send keystrokes to the textbox unless i click it explicitly. Calling any of the focus nodes does not work or locks the input, so i can’t even click my vr-buttons in the world.
