Issue using io.ClearInputCharacters()

Version/Branch of Dear ImGui:

Version: 1.67

My Issue/Question:

Hello! I am having issues using io.ClearInputCharacters(). I can use io.AddInputCharactersUTF8("sample character") just fine. I use the following code to add input characters: https://pastebin.com/WYXT6tEK

However, when I try to clear the input characters, nothing simply happens. I am using the following code to clear input characters and added a simple cout to ensure that I am getting detecting the press of backspace just fine. https://pastebin.com/GhSK9zej

Any help or thoughts is much appreciated. I am sure the issue is probably me doing something wrong, however, in the chance that it is an issue with ImGui, I wanted to make you guys aware. Thanks!

InputCharacters is a character queue that is processed and consumed every frame, there’s almost never a reason to clear it and you certainly shouldn’t clear it In relation to the backspace key. You are misunderstanding its purpose.

Refer to imgui_impl_win32.cpp about how to use AddInputCharacter() functions via the WM_CHAR message.
