it's a similar kind of bug where pressing SHIFT + / was ungated and opened shortcuts and gestures window, making it impossible to type question mark. I don't know if it happens for you or not. I'm on Windows 10 x64

#bugn't it is impossible to type Tab spaces
The Tab key is registered as a hotkey globally which focuses/unfocuses the Search Box. This ungated behaviour makes it impossible to type a literal Tab character in a text input field.

tdesktop v7.4.1

EDIT: it's bugn't 😮

you'll have to use the external media player option from the experimental settings, telegram's own media viewer doesn't support that

There's no client crash. It just opens saying webview has crashed.

Telegram Desktop Talk

10 November 2026 13:19

Telegram Desktop Talk

10 November 2026 13:17

Telegram Desktop Talk

10 November 2026 13:13

Telegram Desktop Talk

10 November 2026 13:00

Telegram Desktop Talk

Telegram Desktop Talk

10 November 2026 06:22

At that point, prepaid SIM cards would make it even more so. I do have one SIP account, given by my ISP, alongside 3 SIM cards of which 2 functional. With SIM cards, they do need to be topped up at least yearly, and some providers are more reliable long-term than others. Having multiple SIMs helps with shopping around, I've been enslaved to the corpse of Mobistar (now usurped by Orange) for long enough after 10 years of loyalty. But SIP accounts on the other hand... They only make sense if you want to run your own PBX at home. And while Asterisk and such offer some software to do that, I find it on par in complexity to mail servers (i.e. nightmare fuel). For day-to-day Telegram accounts, SIM cards just make so much more sense.
