Expected Behavior

When I click on some hotkey in the settings and press [ or ], one of the brackets should appear and only it should trigger the hotkey action.

Current Behavior

[ gets replaced with 8, and ] gets replaced with 9. Both the brackets and the numbers work when pressed while focused on obs. When focused on another window, only the numbers work.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open the settings
  2. Go to hotkeys
  3. Select "Start Recording"
  4. Press [
  5. Notice 8 appearing instead
  6. Close the settings
  7. Press 8 or [ while focused on obs window
  8. OBS starts recording
  9. Stop recording
  10. Press [ outside the obs window
  11. It doesn't record
  12. Press 8 outside the obs window
  13. It starts recording
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the hotkey behavior in OBS Studio 32.0.2 on Arch Linux using the listed steps, then review the linked OBS log for relevant input details. Done means [ and ] remain distinct hotkeys and behave consistently when OBS is focused or unfocused.
