On the macOS app, when entering Japanese text using the standard method of typing on a Latin keyboard and converting it into Japanese script:
- The “Message ChatGPT” placeholder does not disappear immediately when text is input (this happens consistently).
- The app occasionally crashes immediately after input (this happens sporadically).
Notably, this issue does not occur when typing only in Latin letters.
Attachment for reference.

Same issue here!
This also happens when I input into the mini-window (opt+space) as well

The same here. The characters typed overlap with the placeholder text, making it unreadable.
I believe it affects other languages that require an input method, such as Chinese.

Same here! SO frustrating 
I’m using a third-party IME (Kawasemi), so it doesn’t seem to be an Apple IME issue.

Is there any updates?
The same issue has been pointed out in the thread ChatGPT Macアプリの日本語入力の問題について.
Unfortunately, it seems that the OpenAI support team has no intention of dealing with issues in non-Western environments. Not surprised.

So far, still nothing that addresses this.
