PowerToy module: FancyZones
Issue Details
At the moment, I do not have a precise set of steps to trigger this bug; however, I can describe it and the two scenarios where it has occurred so far.
The issue first popped up while I was typing in a website's text box in Chrome. I attempted to type a left parenthesis (, which did not insert anything into the text box, but instead caused FancyZones to flash the outlines for my current zones. The ) key did the same, and typing other characters did not eliminate the issue. I was only able to do so by dragging the Chrome window (which had been maximized) into its restored-down state.
The issue occurred again while I was typing in a reply box from a "Messages via Your Phone" notification in the Action Center - attempting to enter an exclamation mark ! caused my zone borders to flash. (When you receive a text message, the Your Phone app creates a notification containing the message and a text box in which to type a response. This is the box I was using.) This issue worked in much the same way, but closing and re-opening the Action Center did not resolve it. On a hunch, I dragged Chrome (which was still open) into its restored-down state as before, and the issue disappeared.
It is worth noting that, on my keyboard (a standard US English laptop keyboard with a number pad), the parentheses ( and ), as well as the exclamation mark ! are located on the number keys, requiring Shift to be pressed in order to type them. While the issue was present, typing letters worked normally.
