Autocorrect selects text if fast enough on certain input boxes

Open unixatch opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug Sometimes if you're fast enough the autocorrect, instead of waiting for a space, it select the entire word/text inside specific input boxes

To Reproduce Go to any github repo, then go to issues and type really fast into the search/input box and you'll see that it selects the text Example: type cl or la My settings: HeliBoard_backup_2025-10-16.zip

Expected behavior Shouldn't select the text and instead wait for a space

App version 3.3 but also happens in 3.2

Device:

  • Model: Realme 7 5G
  • OS: Android 12 (manufacturer's OS)

I was able to reproduce this while typing slowly too, and even more often, the la text would get duplicated or erased by the following space without being shown as selected.

This seems to be another variant of #1927.

It got fixed with a Firefox update? It doesn't happen anymore it seems... I have right now version 144.0.2, HeliBoard's version is 3.4 (not 3.5 because of the vibration delay and it did happen also in 3.4)
