Can't enter pin in web client on linux with custom keyboard layout

Server Version#: Linux 1.25.1.5286
Player Version#: Plex Web 4.66.1
Browser: Brave Version 1.29.79 Chromium: 93.0.4577.63 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I have several users in my Plex Home and my account is secured with a PIN. I use players on many different devices and OSes and the player works great, even the web player. However, when using the web player on linux I cannot enter my PIN. Literally, typing numbers does nothing. It’s actually not all numbers, so I suppose I could change my PIN to use the numbers that work, but it would be great not to have to.

I use the Programmer Dvorak keyboard layout and I’ve sometimes had problems entering numbers into form fields in browser. I suspect this is because the number keys are changed so that you have to hold shift to actually get a number, and you get a symbol otherwise. Sometimes only certain numbers are affected, for some reason. I have been unable to enter my phone number or credit card on some websites because of this, and it appears that the PIN form on the web player also suffers this problem.

It is weird to me, though, that this only happens when I access the web player from linux. On windows it works just fine.

Anyone have any insights? Is this a bug? Should I file that bug somewhere? I don’t need workarounds (I’m fine with changing my PIN). I just want it to get fixed properly (whether it’s a bug or something else).

Thanks for any help y’all can provide!
