Is this windows default IME?

Does it happen when you write in a note (not using canvas)?

Another problem

Additionally, when the IME is on, if I input some characters and then delete them, there are extra characters that get inserted (as seen in the gif).

IME issue in Canvas

I have discovered that when editing within the canvas, ViewUpdate.view.composing consistently returns false, even when the IME is active. This issue causes my plugin (EasyTyping) to malfunction during canvas editing.

All of this problem only happen in canvas.

Has this started happening with 1.8 or is this an old bug?

6

Start from 1.8.0

This bug was caused by an upstream change in CodeMirror to support an up-up-stream new API of Chromium (EditContext)

We are going to undo this change and wait until the new API matures to reintroduce it.

This bug should be solved in v1.8.2.
