Adding a Special character from Win+. breaks all textboxes.

Hi, all. I use a free, web-based animation software called Wick Editor, and occasionally I need to insert special characters into my text, to do this, I use the Windows+. shortcut to pull up the emoticon/spec char list. Whenever i click a symbol to enter it, all textboxes in the browser just stop accepting input. Key presses are still picked up, as I can interact with pages. The search bar and any textbox in general just don't respond, though this is fixed with a browser restart. I've tried using characters such as the TM symbol and accent letters, yet all of them freeze text boxes.

Thanks! -Jumbleton
