Hi,

When submitting a chat message using the Chat component, it is possible to lose recently entered text.

I believe this is because:

1. The TextArea in the Chat component has a debounce delay (the default 150ms delay)
2. Pressing enter (or clicking the send button) fires the SendMessageAsync method instantly
3. SendMessageAsync uses the last text received from the TextArea, but this can be up to 150ms behind due to the debounce delay

This is reproducible on the Chat component documentation page, https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/documentation/components/chat/overview#creating-blazor-chat:

1. Type in some text
2. Wait 150ms (i.e., wait for the button to enable, otherwise the enter keypress and button clicks are ignored)
3. Type some more text and quickly hit enter (or press the button)

Depending on the timing, the last few characters/words will be lost and not included in the message.

I encounter this issue in version 11 with server side rendering, but the documentation page appears to be using version 12 with web assembly.

Thanks,

Craig

 

It would be good to be able to either use emoji's in the chat component via a button similar to the attachments, or add the capability for custom tooling to be added to that area.

We currently have a feature which allows the chat user to see if the other person is typing. It would be good if this could be set in the component with a timeout to display an indication to the user which disappears after a short time.
