CmdPal completely bugging out

[SabhyaAggarwal]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.91.1

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Area(s) with issue?

Command Palette

Steps to reproduce

No known steps(might be something related to Dell keyboards🤔)

✔️ Expected Behavior

Whatever I type appears in the CmdPal Prompt.

❌ Actual Behavior

Whenever I type something, for example, when i typed "Visual Studio 2022 Preview", what happens is it types Visua and then does backspace and starts typing l Stud *backspaces 4-7 times, and this occurs infinitely, even after typing Preview and backspacing it goes back to typing the start again. It does all the backspaces on its own, with me not even touching my mouse. And before you say anything, I don't have any driver Issues with Windows, and I can type just fine normally, as you can see.

Additional Information

Windows 10 Running as Admin

Other Software

Feels like something could be injecting keys A video could be very powerful here to help see what is actually occuring.

Hello there, @crutkas, I took two videos, 1 was a screen capture & one was keyboard view, which I pointed at my screen after typing was done(PLZ DON'T MIND MY CRUSTY OLD OILY DIRTY KEYBOARD)

@SabhyaAggarwal looks like the recording of your screen is wrong. Just shows your browser with no CmdPal visible.

Also, this may be a duplicate of #39948

Here's another video, I also don't know what I did to cause it, but I do know it involved pasting the calculation from my clipboard, backspace, and number keys. I am not touching the keyboard during this entire video. PowerToys v0.91.0, Windows Command Palette v0.2.0.0, Windows 11, installed with winget, running as user.
