<span;>When using a keyboard to type into the chat box, the chat box is not automatically selected, therefore it isn't possible to type into it unless you bring up the Xbox on-screen keyboard.
<span;>When typing into the on-screen keyboard, you cannot press the TAB key to cycle through the auto-fill suggestions.
<span;>This is very problematic for commands as players must currently type out all of the command character by character, flawlessly, as backing out to double check the command will erase what has been typed.
<span;>This is even worse for long and complex commands with a lot of information that has to be filled in.
<span;>Hopefully this report helps raise more awareness to the issue, as I'm sure a lot of console command users are frustrated with this bug.
<span;>Recreate the bug:
<span;>1. Plug in a keyboard
<span;>2. Press enter
<span;>3. Attempt to type
<span;>4. Result</span;></span;></span;></span;></span;></span;></span;></span;></span;></span;>
