Steps to reproduce

sometimes when having Quick Accent on, and writing in a write box, Quck accents show up when I am writing too fast, but then the Quick Accent windows dont disappear from the screen.

✔️ Expected Behavior

the window of Quick Accent should disappear from the display if I dont use it. Not even pressing ESC key helps to get rid of that. The only way is to kill PowerToys task.

Ok, I found a fix. Just adjust the delay. By default is 200 ms, I changed to 300 ms and works well. I just did it, so I will update this comment if it doesn't work. If I don't come back here in 10 days, then it is fixed. 😎
