Editing in Text fields - Duplication of Initial Letters in Words

Hi, I’d like to debug an issue with some text fields

  • At Zatrolené hry website
  • At Imperial Sushi application.
  • some other rare occassion.

I wrote to both, but not specific info has been disclosed.

When writing text, the first letter after a space, i.e., the first letter of the word, gets duplicated. For example, instead of “bug” it writes “bbug”.

Examples:

  • Correct: “Hi, I’d like to report a bug in the behavior of the editing window.”
  • Incorrect: “Hi, II’d llike tto rreport aa bbug iin tthe bbehavior oof tthe eediting wwindow.”

Workaround:
I discovered that if I type anything at the beginning of the text, like a space and a period, and then write the message before them, the letters do not get duplicated.

Additional Info:
I am using the Bromium browser on eOS Android 13

Who else is experiencing a similar issue?

Huh, I found this html - duplicate and incorrect characters inside input text field (after correct one shows up briefly) - Stack Overflow and debugged the same on my device.

This is the settings
