Backspace key not functioning in GMail chat/Google Chat.

[nik282000]

Steps to reproduce

When entering text in the message input box all typeable characters (a-z, 0-9, symbols) and spacebar slide functions work but the backspace key has no effect. This is limited to the chat function of the GMail and Google Chat, in all other text input boxes backspace works.

Expected behavior

The backspace key should delete the character to the left of the cursor.

Actual behavior

There is a haptic feedback that backspace was tapped but no effect on the text input box.

version of the program

3.4.7

Android version

Android 14

Device

Pixel 8

Other details

This is likely a Google problem but I tested with other keyboards and did not have any issues with backspace.
