Onshape misses the second number/character typed in sketch dimensions

Hi all, i aware this might sound like a strange issue so please let me know if this is just a problem on my end. When typing dimensions quickly into a sketch feature Onshape constantly misses the second typed character. For example if i was typing 1.5, it would miss "." and i end up with 15 as the dimension, and if i intend to enter "15" i get "1". It happens 20-40% of the time. This is not a big issue but can break the flow of thought. This only happens on Onshape, not noticed it anywhere else on my PC, has anyone else seen this?

    I always have some kind of input lag whenever I'm typing anything into Onshape. Sometimes it will actually type several characters, then shift back to right after the first character and start typing again.

    Similar problem with me. On my Chromebook, but not a Windows computer, I can't figure out how to change the dimensions of a shape due to changing a number with a ten's place. Not even 9. It won't show a typing blinky thingy at all. Although this is a similar problem, may not be totally the same.

    Try escaping the coincident constraint first. If you are trying to change the length, you need to click on the dimension tool first, then the line.

    I have noticed this behavior while inputting data into configuration tables - I blame a slow internet connection firstly (worse at certain times of day), then I just learned to slow down while typing, by a micro second. Don't believe it's an OnShape issue though

    Also seen this at times, but I think it is a UI focus thing, not an OS thing.
