Issue descriptionExample URL: hardforum.com Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. navigate to a thread that you can post in 2. begin typing in the reply input box 3. notice occasionally the first character in the word you are typing is input instead of the intended character, or all of the characters already typed if word completion is used. What is the expected behavior? The character corresponding to the one typed on the keyboard should be the one input on the page. What went wrong? Previously input characters are repeated instead. Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A Is it a problem with a plugin? No Did this work before? Yes Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: 64.0.3282.123 Channel: stable OS Version: 7.0 Flash Version: I believe this worked prior to the January 25 update, but I'm not sure which version. The issue doesn't always immediately appear, but it is fairly easy for me to reproduce on that site. Seems to happen most often when the space key is pressed, or when word completion is used. I'm using US English with the SwiftKey keyboard (default ime on this phone) on an xperia xa with Android 7.0 Nougat.

Tested the issue using #64.0.3282.137 on Android Samsung J7 7.0.0 and could not reproduce the issue as per the steps mentioned in original comment. @benjo: Could you please check this issue in latest Chrome #64.0.3282.137 and help us with the details of your device and a screencast for further triage? Thanks!!

Can't do the screencast atm, but will asap. Still present in 64.0.3282.137 for me. What details do you need aside from what I provided in the original report? I listed the language (en), keyboard (SwiftKey), phone model (Xperia XA, specifically F3113), Android version (7.0 Nougat). The kernel is 3.18.35+ Seems like maybe a race condition causes this, as it's not always the first character in the word that is replaced in the input box. It may be a combination of SwiftKey, chrome, and hardforum specifically which trigger the race condition (seems likely, although I don't know how much each contributes). If you have an older phone you can install Android 7 and SwiftKey on to test with, you might have better luck reproducing.

This report references a forum using XenForo (1.x). I am a XenForo developer and we've had reports of this affecting many of our customers: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/latest-android-chrome-keyboard-suggestion-issues.142504/ Reports first started with Chrome 64. I have been able to reproduce this issue and have derived a reduced test case. Specifically, it appears to related to contenteditable being initialized within an iframe (rather than directly on a div). The reduced test case can be seen here: https://xenforo.com/bugs/android-rte-autocomplete-bug.html (Same code is also attached.) The steps to reproduce are not 100% consistent and the behavior may vary by keyboard, but I can reproduce odd behavior in both Swiftkey and Gboard. (Using Swiftkey) Type "Tym" and you'll likely get "Tympanum" and "Tympanic" suggested. Tap either of those. In the iframe case, sometimes the inserted text will be "TymTympa "; if it inserts correctly, empty the editor and try again. In the div version, the correct word will always insert. (Using Gboard) Type "Trdt" and the recommendation should be "Test". Tap that and some of the time it will work; other times it will effectively do nothing. It seems much more inconsistent. Again, on the div version, this will work correctly in all cases. As further evidence, similar steps cause issues with TinyMCE's demo: https://www.tinymce.com/ (Which still uses an iframe) (All tests done in Chrome 64.0.3282.137 / Android 7.0 / Galaxy S6.)

Can confirm, reduced test case (hosted at xenforo, in comment 7) can repro on 64.0.3282.137. Odd behavior in iframe, expected behavior in div. Cannot reproduce in Firefox mobile or Edge mobile (for Android).

Seems fixed with SwiftKey v6.7.8.25 released March 1st. Release notes: Fixed * Previously jumbled words in Chrome should now display correctly * The longpress pop up box should now display on the screen

Hrm, well, mostly fixed. Very rarely it still puts a space character instead of a punctuation mark (? or ! at least). I will notify the SwiftKey devs and mention this bug and related xenforum thread.

This is still an issue as I'm having the exact same behavior in websites when using Google Chrome on my Google Pixel. V. 68.0.3325.109

What? This is not fixed at all. Writing is still broken in Xenforo forums on Chrome for Android using Gboard.

This issue is still present in GBoard. Yes it is fixed for SwiftKey but on Pixel it uses GBoard.
