Painful behavior of "slash" ("/") in chat prompts
It seems like slash + space (i.e. "/ ") automatically dismisses the menu. Regardless, this should have never been a feature, the ability to enter anything other than a space after the slash is made extremely difficult.
Nope. Doesn't matter if you type a / after a space or after a letter, it throws up this context menu with focus on "Upload from this device". Whatever you type next has no effect until you hit space, which works as enter and opens the "Upload from this device" dialog, which you then have to close with Esc before you can continue typing.
Utterly stupid, and utterly annoying.
After further testing, you're right, insofar as you wait a moment between typing / and ANY character. However, if you type / and ANY character (not just space) in quick succession, the menu never appears.
Sure, but as soon as you hit backspace because you made a typo, if you backspace into a /, it just opens the menu... so technically this menu isn't opening based on "/" being pressed. It's opening based on the fact that your cursor is placed immediately after a "/" character with nothing in front of it.
