Text cursor moves back deleting data, like auto Backspacing

Bug reports
1

Steps to reproduce

It often happens that in Edit mode text cursor start to move back deleting text. Looks like the Backspace button is automatically tapped. Please see screenplays. I also attached the test md file from those videos.

It’s hard to say for sure, but it mainly happens with - list item, and doesn’t happen with * list item (for both ul and ol). And sometimes near symbols - * ) (

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Expected result

I expect text cursor stays still on its place.

Actual result

Text cursor moves back eating up text symbols in text.

I use Gboard.

I am sorry but I don’t quite understand what’s going on in your videos.

You are using a very old android device. You may wanna check which version of Android WebView you are running.

  1. I put text cursor in some place in note.
  2. Then text on the left of cursor start to automatically backspacing. I don’t tap on Backspace button. Deleting happens without my participation.

And only some places evoke auto deleting. So I tap on one place then on another before bad-place is found and auto deleting begins.

I don’t get the first 2 videos either but the third one after the 23-second mark, shows the same, or a very similar, bug I commented here. My reply includes GIFs that may help understand the issue and, maybe, both topics are related, otherwise my reply should be moved here.

Edit: if someone is having this or similar problems should try disabling Gboard settings that start with “Auto” in Settings > Preferences and the ones related to suggestions in Settings > Corrections & Suggestions. I think that or maybe a Gboard update is what solved this for me.
