Keyboard Overlay Bug. Freeze and can not return App.

I faced a problem about Keyboard Overlay.
 
I tried using the system virtual keyboard but it doesn't stable.
The below step reproduces a fatal bug.
1. Set Require System Keyboard
2. Build app
3. Quickly pull a trigger two times.

It can not return to the app like the video.
 
Was there a mistake in my usage?
 
Version info
- Unity 2021.3.32f1
- Meta XR Core SDK 59.0.0

    I'm having the exact same issue. It seems to have started a week ago. Before that the keyboard worked as expected. Now it appears that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't sporadically.

    I thought I was doing something wrong, but after three days of intensive testing, I'm starting to believe that this might be an issue with the Quest OS itself. You posting this here backens my suspicions.

      Thank you for your reply.

      But, what should we do? Is the way to solve only waiting for update?

        I don't know. Hopefully they will fix it. In the meantime, if I find a solution I'll post it here.

          Omg, I was starting to get crazy with this bug, and seeing someone reporting the same issue is at least giving me hope that a fix can be found...

          I'm also on Unity 2021.3.33f1
          But using "Oculus XR Plugin 3.3.0"

          Maybe, SDK or Plugin version does not affect this problem.

          Cause I don't include them in my project.
          I just added below code at AndroidManifest.

          <uses-feature android:name="oculus.software.overlay_keyboard" android:required="false"/>

            It seems that I found a fix !
            Well kinda

            It appears that the last Quest Update **bleep**ed the TMP Input Field with a content type "custom"
            My Input field was with a custom type and a custom validator (cf screenshot)

            By changing it to "Standard" it's now working without no apparent issue (cf 2nd screenshot)

            Unfortunately, mine was already set as Standard and the issue persists.

            I found that by changing the Line Type to Singeline make it work sometimes, while in Multiline it never works. Still, not even close to a fix.

            As others have mentioned here, this is very likely an issue with a Quest update.

            That's a shame it didn't work for you 😕

            It's for sure an issue caused by a Quest update, for us the bug is retroactif on previous build of the app that worked fine before !

            Hope you find a workaround for your specific situation, and let's hope the issue is quickly fixed by Meta and/or Unity

              Maybe Updating OS fixed this issue. But I noticed new issue.
               
              InputField has the parameter named LineType. 
              If it is set other than SingleLine and I select the Enter Button, then disappear virtual keyboard and appear it again.
