After Effects version 25.6.0
MacOS 26.1
While using After Effects, and only After Effects, I find that every few keystrokes is ignored by the program. It happens everywhere, when renaming layers, when typing in timecode, when typing text into a text box.
Goes without saying the expected behavior is that... that doesn't happen.
Here's an example best I could show it with screencapturing software. You can see me start typing and I enabled keystrokes and you can see clearly that I typed several characters towards the end and it completely ignored those characters that I typed. This isn't unique to text boxes, it happens everywhere in the program. When typing in fonts, when renaming folders in the project panel, when typing in timecode, renaming layers in the timeline, you name it, this is happening all the time.
