If I open the OSK multiple times in a row, sometimes it just lags for a few seconds before it becomes responsive.
On a related note, when I was setting up the Steam and Battle.net link, when I was inputting the email confirmation code the keyboard would slow down to a crawl when I used both trackpads. When I used only one trackpad no slowdown was present. This I didn't get on camera and sadly I don't know how I would repro it now that the accounts are linked

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open a game
  2. Open the open the keyboard multiple times

Result

Sometimes the keyboard is unresponsive

Expected

The keyboard should always be responsive the moment it opens.
