Okay, I don’t even know how to describe this properly. The macOS app version of ChatGPT frequently makes my entire input disappear while I am still typing. This only happens with input methods that require text selection, like Chinese and Japanese. English input works fine.
This issue has been there since day one of the desktop app’s release, and even now, I still cannot type with peace of mind. It is incredibly frustrating. I am forced to hit Enter every two or three characters just to prevent my text from vanishing, which is completely ridiculous.
Let me put it this way. Imagine typing in English, but you have to press Enter after every single word. If you try to type a longer sentence, you have to be prepared for the entire sentence to suddenly disappear. Just while typing this topic in the app and asking GPT to translate it, I have already lost my text at least five times. How are we supposed to use a desktop app like this?
PS: The web version works fine. Claude’s desktop app also has no such issue. I remember seeing other Chinese and Japanese users complain about this before, but OpenAI doesn’t seem to think there are enough of them to justify fixing the bug.
