Same on Windows 10
Sorry for a long delay. Can you still reproduce it? I've quite a few languages enabled in my Windows VM, but can't reproduce it...
I can still reproduce it on 6.41.0. This issue needs some tries to be reproduced, I think it has to do with the button press timing and possibly happens (cannot confirm for sure) when in the combination of alt-shift, the alt is released a little early.
Although this might sound like user error, signal is the only s/w that this happens.
Just happened to me again. I cannot reproduce it well either, but I most often notice it, while in VSCode, then alt tabbing to Signal (v6.42.0). Never noticed such problems with other messengers.
Bug Description
On a windows machine with multiple languages, the shortcut to change between languages is alt-shift. When writing messages it is common to switch between languages multiple times in a message (switching between English & local language). However when the shortcut is pressed, it is common for signal desktop to lose focus from the message box and focus on the menu bar (file menu). Going back to the message box can sometimes happen with the ESC button, sometimes can happen only by using the mouse.
Although alt button triggering the menu bar is expected behavior, other programs seem to better detect that the expected shortcut is not a single alt. Mozilla firefox (v111.0) is a good example.
Steps to Reproduce
Actual Result:
Signal desktop focuses on the menu bar (file menu) as if only alt was pressed
Expected Result:
Signal desktop should detect the shortcut and not trigger a change in focus
