Weird Green Textbox in Unity UI Input Field for Oculus Go

Question

Hey all,I am experiencing a weird bug that I cannot seem to find the solution to. In my Unity project, when I click an input field with the Oculus Go controller, a rectangular green textbox shows up at the very bottom of the screen for around one second, and it's headlocked. This seems to be an Android input field because when I fill up the input field, its fills up with the same characters. Also, this does not happen in the Unity editor.I wish I could show you all a screenshot or video, but they did not show up at my attempts to create one. However, I created an Android build that you may all test.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PnbiD7p8NH5JpoKC-hNH2J9Egg2gn9kN/view?usp=sharing&nbsp;Game Engine: Unity 2018.2.13f1Oculus Integration: 1.32.0Please advise. Thanks!&nbsp;

I solved this issue by writing a class inherits from the input field. So remove the default InputField component and attach the MobileInput. Don't forget to assign some properties such as TextComponent and Placeholder inside the new MobileInput Component.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class MobileInput : InputField
{
    protected override void Start()
    {
        keyboardType = (TouchScreenKeyboardType)(-1);
        base.Start();
    }
}

}

this bugs out when using more than one inputfield :(

Hi, we are experiencing the same problem.
This line (although it fixes the green box) unfortunately creates an endless flow of overflow exceptions on android causing the framerate to drop :-/

keyboardType = (TouchScreenKeyboardType)(-1);

Sorry I've just noticed your reply.
I read the source code of Unity's inputfield, I reckon there's no way to avoid this problem if using Unity's Input Field.
Eventually solved this problem by using VRUIKit's customised input field.
