Thank you for the report. I was able to recreate the issue. The mod browser was recently changed, so that probably caused the issue. We will investigate.

Can you give me some mods that have broken IME in settings?

In some search boxes (such as the "Version Info" and "Modding" tabs) in Factorio version 2.0.12, there’s a problem with typing in Korean. When using the Korean IME (Input Method Editor), typing a consonant or vowel does not maintain the input and immediately deletes it. To successfully input characters, I have to hold the key for rapid entry to bypass the IME, which is not practical and disrupts the typing experience.

This issue seems specific to certain search fields, making it difficult to type Korean accurately without workarounds.

I haven't found a fix yet, but I have discovered that the problem only happens in the main menu and anywhere with simulation (factoriopedia and tips).

For now, you can fix it in menu, by disabling menu simulations in game settings. Hope that helps.

I will be looking to get this fixed fast.

Fixed in 2.0.15!

We were adding GUI to simulations and it was stealing the IME context every tick.

Sorry about the inconvenience.
