Backspace isn't working for me, is this intended?

When typing r-e-a-d-y in the beginning you can't, but it should definitely work when typing answers in-game.

Strange... Backspace/Delete works on my Windows machine. How many keyboards are you using? Is it the same for all? Windows or Mac?

Yea it's not working for me in the game on windows. I'm using one keyboard. I tried restarting the game but had no luck. If there's any way I can give more detailed tracebacks or anything, I'm more than willing to help 😊

Thanks for the offer to help! I've uploaded a new build - WordAfterWord Windows (Debug). Could you try it?

After running it, it should produce a file called "output-log.txt." If you could email me the contents of that file, it would be much appreciated. My first name at playfulsystems dot com.

The error I found was pretty deep in an old library that is no longer being updated. Hopefully I can debug this. If not, I might have to pull the game for the time being.

Thanks again.

Oh, and make sure to type backspace/delete in the round you play before sending the output-log.txt. Thanks.

Here's the output I got: https://hastebin.com/raw/ovahamifez I used backspace multiple times and it doesn't show up so I fear the worst.

Thanks so much for trying it out.

Oof. So it doesn't even register the backspace as a keypress. I'm sorry, but that's at lower level than I know how to debug. If I can think of any other things to try, I'll be in touch.

Any update on this?

What are the language and layout settings of your keyboard? Do you have any others you can try?

Sorry for the delayed response. Thank you @beanland! Those are great questions.
