Steps to Reproduce
  1. Within OSX, open System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources
  2. Add Chinese - Simplified > Pinyin - Simplified
  3. Set "Show Input Menu in Menu Bar" = True
  4. On the Apple Menu Bar in the upper-left corner, click the "region" symbol (US input looks like the American flag)
  5. From the Input menu, select "Pinyin - Simplified"
  6. Open any project in UE4Editor
  7. Create a new Material
  8. Create a Scalar Parameter
  9. Within the Details Panel, set the Default Value to 1.0

Result:
Editor crashes with a DispatchEventToHandlers() error

Expected Result:
The Scalar Parameter's value is set to 1

Update: a user provided the following:
"100% reproducible: - On macOS Sierra, turn on Chinese Pinyin input. - Open Material Editor and create a Constant Value in Graph panel. - In Detail panel, change the value to 1.0. - Crash. Seems UE editor does not like a mix of Piyin with its entry boxes."
