# iOS/iPadOS Autocomplete: Touch Selection Duplicates Last Korean IME Character
## Environment
- **Platform**: iOS/iPadOS (both affected)
- **Obsidian Version**: Latest (as of July 2026)
- **Input Method**: iOS Default Korean IME (한글)
- **Device**: iPhone & iPad
## Observed Behavior
When using Korean IME with autocomplete suggestions:
1. Type Korean text normally (e.g., “테스트”)
2. Autocomplete popup appears with suggestions
3. **Touch** the suggestion to select it
4. **Result**: The last Korean character before autocomplete gets duplicated in the final text
- Example: Intended input “테스트” + autocomplete suggestion “완료” → Result “테스트트완료” (ㅌ duplicated)
## Expected Behavior
Touching the autocomplete suggestion should insert only the suggested text, without duplicating any IME buffer characters.
## Workaround
The issue **does NOT occur** when using **Enter key** to select autocomplete suggestions. Only touch selection triggers the duplication.
## Root Cause Analysis
This appears to be an event timing issue on iOS WebView:
- Touch event fires before `compositionend` IME event completes
- The last character in the IME buffer hasn’t been committed yet when the touch selection triggers
- Both the buffer character and the autocomplete completion get inserted simultaneously
## Repro Steps
1. Open any note in Obsidian iOS/iPadOS
2. Switch keyboard to Korean IME
3. Type any Korean word: “테스트”
4. Wait for autocomplete suggestions to appear
5. **Touch** (not enter key press) any suggestion
6. Observe the last Korean character gets duplicated
## Environment Details
- Tested on: iPad OS, iPhone iOS
- Autocomplete: Default enabled (not disabled)
- Vault: Standard vault with no community plugins
- No keyboard settings that could workaround this (tried deleting/re-adding Korean keyboard)
## Suggested Fix
The autocomplete handler should ensure `compositionend` event is fully processed before executing the touch-triggered selection handler.

**Note**: This is a clear iOS-specific issue that does NOT occur on macOS, Windows, or Android with the same Korean IME setup.
