Issue descriptionExample URL: https://hardforum.com/ Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Attempt to create a new thread on a Xenforo based forum 2. Write stuff wrong 3. Click on a keyboard suggestion 4. Feel the pain What is the expected behavior? The text updates correctly What went wrong? The text scrambles. Please see the attached video, it's hard to explain with words. Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes Is it a problem with a plugin? No Did this work before? Yes Not sure, this has been a thing for a long time. Does this work in other browsers? Yes Chrome version: 68.0.3440.106 Channel: stable OS Version: 8.1 Flash Version: This doesn't happen on Firefox on the same forum with the same keyboard (Gboard). This happens on any XenForo forum, the video is from ResetEra, but I linked one with a more public registration process. But really, any XenForo forum will present the issue.

danileon95@, do you have any other place I could try with? This forum requires me to register an account and there needs an admin to approve the account before I can see the editor.

Hi ctzsm@ I spoke to the admins at resetera.com and they seem want to give you guys a temp account so that you can test typing in the website. The administrator with the username deltaplus told me to tell you guys to email this address: deltaplus@resetera.com And they'll set you up with a temp account so that you can debug this issue. Thanks for taking the time to look into this! Really appreciated.

Yes, it's still happening. I'm attaching another video. Please note how sometimes touching the suggestion works correctly while other times it doesn't. Chrome 70.0.3538.80. Running Android 8.1.

An important detail to note: It seems to work fine to autocomplete unfinished words. For example, writing "Whatev" and clicking the "Whatever" suggestion would work fine, since it's not replacing any characters, only adding. However, if you write, for example, "Whtvtr" and click the "Whatever" suggestion, then there's a chance the bug will trigger.

I'm experiencing the same issue.

I tried whatevr -> whatever suggestion over and over, but couldn't repro this. Also, it is extremely difficult to understand what went wrong from watching the two videos. Maybe we just need better repro steps. FWIW, we aren't supporting InputConnection#commitCorrection() properly, and GBoard is presumably working around it, and that may explain why this happens. |
