TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by investigating and adjusting the chat input handling logic to correctly process backspace key presses.

Guidance

  • Review the chat input handling code to ensure it correctly handles backspace key presses and only deletes the last character instead of the entire word.
  • Check for any recent changes in the codebase, especially in the version 0.39.1, that might have introduced this behavior.
  • Verify if this issue occurs consistently across different operating systems and environments to determine if it's a platform-specific problem.
  • Consider attaching the exported chat history JSON file to the issue for further debugging, as requested.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific code snippets or detailed technical explanations, making it challenging to provide a precise fix. Further investigation into the chat input handling logic and recent code changes is necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the exact cause is unclear, applying a workaround, such as manually adjusting the chat input handling logic or reverting to a previous version if possible, might be the most straightforward approach until a permanent fix is found.
