Autocorrect randomly messes up corrections in content editable on Android

Reported by s...@samclarke.com, May 2 2018

Issue description

Example URL:
https://jsfiddle.net/d4tuch41/show/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. In a content editable div type cn
2. Tap the can autocorrect suggestion on the keyboard
3. Repeat multiple times and eventually it will autocorrect it to cnc

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
It gets the correction wrong. Looking at the events it seems to update the text and then fire the delete text event causing it to mess up. 

This seems to happen randomly and does happen with multiple words, just using cn -> can as an easy demo.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

See the same thing  I happened on the 6th try.

Sounds like an Android keyboard issue, not a Chrome issue.

I've just tried some other Android keyboards and I can't get it to happen with them so it looks like it is a keyboard issue.

Can reproduce with given test page or any contenteditable div, not on textarea or input box, with gboard on Pixel device.
