VirtualKeyboard on Windows 11 with touchscreen monitor - touched key keeps stuck and repeats input

[Mindaugas]

Hello,

VirtualKeyboard (WinForms) on Windows 11 with touchscreen monitor when key touched with finger quite often keeps stuck and repeats input until another key is pressed or mouse leaves that button.

Thats new for Windows 11 (on previous versions that was not happening).

It only happens when physically touched on touchscreen and in Windows 11. If pressed with mouse it does not happening.

 

To reproduce can be used Telerik demo app > Virtual Keyboard > First Look (please see attached image of my test, button g is pressed and released, but gggggg input keeps appending)

Environment Windows 11 Pro 24H2 with touchscreen monitor.

Also tested on my app with Telerik UI For WinForms 2025.3.812 (the same outcome).

 

Is there plans to fix this? Or maybe there is a workaround?

Hi Mindaugas,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are already aware of this behavior, and it is logged in our Feedback Portal: RadVirtualKeyboard: Touching Key Remains Stuck. You can follow the feedback item to receive updates on its status. I'm pleased to inform you that our development team is currently working on a fix. Once it is completed and passes all tests, we will update the feedback item with additional information on which version the fix will be available.

In the meantime, you can try disabling the repeat functionality of each button inside the RadVirtualKeyboard control.

var allKeys = this.radVirtualKeyboard1.MainLayoutPanel.GetAllKeys();
foreach (var k in allKeys)
{
    if (k is LightVisualRepeatButtonElement repeatKey)
    {
        repeatKey.EnableRepeatButton = false;
    }
}

I hope that the workaround will work for you.
