Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash with Sogou Pinyin 16.8 active and clicking “Select File” or selecting a volume, then trace the file-selection module invoked by those actions. The report gives no source file or test; identify the relevant entry point and add a regression test if the project has a suitable path. Done means file selection no longer causes a silent exit with the input method active.

Description

bug

When the Chinese input method "Sogou Pinyin" is active, clicking the "Select File" button in VeraCrypt causes the application to crash. The same issue also occurs when selecting a volume (possibly whenever the program invokes the file selection module).
