Probably bug can be dependent on width screen, so if bug doesn’t work try longer word.

I’m not able to reproduce even with a “word” being 4 lines long, with all my plugins activated as well…

So there might be something else happening at your end. Not sure what though…

Do you use Android on smartphone?
My smartphone is 7 cm width.

I’ve pasted my Debug info before.

Yes, it’s a Samsung A51, and I’m on a newer operating system than you.

Slightly longer text, but no issues…

Also tried in SandBox vault without issues, so there is something else causing your issues.

I found that issue occur with (Google) Gboard.
When I switch to HTC or Multiling keyboard; autopair works correctly.
Tested with touchscreen and BT keyboard.

I disabled all options in Gboard settings but it didn’t help.

Keyboard configurations:

  • Only screen keyboard - doesn’t work
  • Only BT keyboard - doesn’t work
  • BT keboard AND screen keyboard - somehow work…

I’m not using Gboard, nor an external keyboard, so I can’t help any further than what I’ve already stated. Happy hunting for the actual reason why your setups fails in this context.

If this is a virtual keyboard problem, there isn’t much we can do.

Is it possible this is a variant of the other bug related to backticks being a dead key on some keyboards? When I’m typing on Android the backtick is not a deadkey on the default keyboard, but it could very well be so on a virtual keyboard (if it’s an international keyboard).

I don’t think so.
