[Windows 11] Can't use emoji picker with secure browser


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I noticed when trying to use the Windows emoji picker (Win+.) in a secure browser with "Keyboard protection" enabled, the input to the emoji picker is scrambled making it effectively useless.

I found this thread highlighting the same issue where an ESET employee said they'd investigate it, but the thread is now locked with no further updates.

Are there any further updates on the issue, or a way to let me whitelist the emoji picker without turning off secure browsing/keyboard protection?

I am on Windows 11.

Thank you! :)

I was unable to reproduce the issue, the emoji panel always appears after pressing the said shortcut in a secured browser when keyboard protection is on.

It's possible to bring up the picker without any issues, but once you start typing the input will be garbled. I have attached a video of me opening the emoji window and then typing the word 'smiling'.

This issue was discussed here: https://forum.eset.com/topic/34540-banking-and-payment-protection-option-renders-browser-emoji-input-impossible/ . Only current solution was to disable B&PP keystroke protection for normal browser activities and re-enable it when performing actual banking or financial activities.

Thank you, however I already linked to that thread and mentioned I was aware of that workaround.

What I'm interested in is whether it's still being worked on or whether any progress has been made since that thread was posted.

Ok, I was able to reproduce it and found out that it's a known issue. The issue will require a deeper research since we could not quickly find the process that needs to be excluded.
