Short description of error
Writing in Text objects does not surpress keys bound to "Release" or "Double Click" states.

For example, I have set "N" + "Release" to paste objects (in a new collection).
This means everytime I press the key "n" while writing in a text object it will throw the last copied object into the scene.

Thanks for the report, but I couldn't reproduce the problem by changing some shortcut to double-click (in the case I tested the N to display the sidebar).
Characters are added by pressing a key, release is already another command.
Therefore, the issue reported here is a request for modified/improved behavior and not a bug in current behavior.

Can you please test this again? Double Click definitely does it.
Your example with the toolbar was actually the first time I encountered the problem, because I used T and T + doubleclick to handle both sidebars. Just tried it again:

Words like
butter, attention, baguette, tattoo
come out as
buter, atention, baguete, tatoo
while writing normal speed because the letters are replaced by the commands.

I wouldnt call it a bug, but neither a feature request. It looks more like an oversight from the developer team.
Anyway, I will try asking on the feedback site. Thanks for the links.

Now I can confirm by changing shortcut N to double click T.

But although it is a disruptive behavior, it still works as designed.
The operator that shows the sidebar is one of the operators that block the rest (doesn't pass through).
This is advantageous in other cases.
So, it's not a bug.
