[0.17.8.0]:Typing derby not playable/softlock with non-English keyboard

Steps to Reproduce

In my case, Japanese keyboard with “Microsoft Ime” ( mainly used for conversions).
The language setting is Japanese.

What I expected to happen

I thought we could play with half-width alphanumeric characters/direct input mode.

What happened

But when it came time to start typing…
It didn’t count as typing, and couldn’t go on from the first letter.
Even pressing space does not do anything.
It is possible that other non-English keyboards may also have this issue.

I previously reported a glitch that caused the game to become unplayable when attempting to play with a Japanese keyboard or a non-English keyboard.

This glitch is still there.
Did I report wrong?
