Printed text of the TextMeshPro input field is missing the last symbol and the length is one symbol longer
How to reproduce:
1. Open the user’s attached “testdatapersistence.zip” project
2. Enter Play Mode
3. In the input field insert “testing”
4. Observe the Console window
Expected result: “Name : testing : length 7” is printed
Actual result: “Name : testin : length 7” is printed
Reproducible with: 3.0.6, 3.2.0-pre.4 (2021.3.28f1), 4.0.0-pre.2 (2022.3.4f1, 2023.1.3f1, 2023.2.0a23)
Reproduced on: macOS 13.2.1 (Intel)
Notes:
If pressing the delete key when there’s no text in the input field then the printed length is 1

Resolution Note:
The "OnValueChanged" event for TextMeshPro InputField is triggered before the new value is fully processed.
The suggested workaround is to employ a one-frame-delay coroutine for operations that require the updated text:
public void CheckNameLength()
{
StartCoroutine(DelayedCheckNameLength());
}
private IEnumerator DelayedCheckNameLength()
{
yield return null; // wait for one frame
Debug.Log($"Name : {nameInputText.text} : length {nameInputText.text.Length}");
}
As for the length of the text, this is also expected as the TMP InputField appends the ZWS unicode to handle the cursor on new lines.
