Regression: WASD keys leak to Chinese IME and trigger black‑screen flash in exclusive full‑screen

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Start Minecraft Java Edition 26.3 Pre‑Release 1 on Windows 11

  2. Switch your keyboard layout to Sogou Chinese input‑method

  3. Go into video settings and enable Exclusive Full‑Screen mode

  4. Enter a world, then press W / A / S / D to move around

Expected result
Only the Minecraft game receives WASD keyboard input. The Chinese input‑method will not pop‑up, and no brief black screen flash appears, exactly like the normal behaviour in version 26.2.

Actual result
The player character moves normally. However WASD keystrokes are also sent to the Sogou input‑method, which brings up the text candidate box, and a short black‑screen flash occurs right after pressing movement keys, interfering with gameplay.

Environment

Operating System: Windows 11 24H2 CPU: i5‑12500 Input‑method: Sogou Pinyin Chinese Input
