IME in Android Studio emulator not responding to Shift-B on keyboard

Question

I noticed that Shift-B is not being recorded or received on EditTexts when I am using the emulator with my physical keyboard.

• Keyboard works fine elsewhere in all other programs - "B" - see!
• Lower-case ''b' works fine everywhere
• All other SHIFT alphabet characters work from the keyboard except "B"
• Clicking on shift-B on the IME (soft keyboard) works fine
• When pressing SHIFT-b, the onKeyListener.onKey() receives a keyCode of 0

I have used Android Studio and the Emulator extensively for a year and just now noticed this. I am not sure when it began.

I have quit and restarted Android Studio and the Emulator to no avail.

I am guessing that I somehow have a key map messed up by accident or corruption, but I do not know where to begin fixing this.

Answer 1

This was a bug in the emulator and was fixed in 27.0.5 that was released in the past week.
