I have 2 issues with the "new" GUI chat Roblox has implemented in most games (sometimes it reverts back to the old one, which is GOOD for me, and that's not good for a Roblox update).

- I need to press Shift+7 to chat. I own a Spanish keyboard, and "/" is located there, when on an English keyboard it is shown where the Spanish keyboard's "-" is.

Now, in the old Roblox chat bar I could press "-" on the Spanish keyboard and it would work, but now I can't, so I need to press Shift+7.

Is there any way to change this, or is Roblox being optimized for English players only?

- It makes my Roblox game GUI flash, including the cursor, player list, etc. and even the chat bar itself. I know this is the issue because currently some games luckily load with the old chat bar, and it doesn't flash then.

I have asked others about this issue and nobody seems to have it. I HAVE REINSTALLED and it does NOT work.

I need some answers, fast. Help me please?

Thank you for reading.

Could be a little bug with your keyboard order the type. I'm sure ROBLOX is trying to fix many problems so maybe they are working on it. Here to help.

I had the same problem. I know shift lock the mouse.

I can chat by doing alt+é (or /). It's probably "-" on your keyboard.

You should try it.

@1magik5

I have tried with "-" but it doesn't work. It did with the previous chat bar.

Now I need to press Shift+7 to get to "/" and be able to chat (I can also click, but I'm more used to the button...).

I also have mouse-lock on, so you can imagine how annoying this is for me.

I hope this issue is fixed. All I want is to at least be able to press "-" again!

it's definitely not optimized for english players, I have an english keyboard and my apostrophes and colons and semicolons and a whole bunch of stuff near the parentheses/brackets are all messed up and switched around, and i can't even use apostrophe in game..

Bump. My : and ' are switched. It is annoying. It also applies to a lot of other keyboard keys too, but only in Roblox.

Yeah my colon/semi-colon key is normal, but my quotation mark key puts out semi-colons and holding shift is just a blank spot.

I've had this problem for about 2 years or more...
I searched "Roblox Shift+7 to chat" and I found this thread.
Anyone found the issue?

Wow, this is old.
I thought I'd let you guys know that I can now use Shift+7 to chat again. It didn't let me in the past.

Thanks.
