Android Webview: Text changes when cursor is moved

[patienttruth]

Describe the issue

Sometime in the last few months I can no longer use the code editor in Home Assistant. I've learned HA uses this project, so after checking issues I'm reporting.

When I move the cursor in a snippet of code it appears to insert text in other parts of the body.

This seems isolated to Chromium browsers, Firefox works normally. I've tried the following:

Vanadium 130.0.6723.58
Home Assistant App - version 2024.9.4-full
Brave 1.70.126, Chromium 129.0.6668.100

Android 14; Pixel 6 Build/AP2A.240905.003.F1

Also reported on the Home Assistant repo.

What virtual keyboard are you using? And does this happen in stock Chrome as well?

What virtual keyboard are you using? And does this happen in stock Chrome as well?

I've tested 3 virtual keyboards today.

• gboard - version 14.6.03.665297282-release-arm64-v8a
• FlorisBoard - version 0.4.1
• Hackers Keybord - version v1.41.1

Normally I use Gboard, and it did work earlier in the year. I think even a ~3 months ago.

The first two have the problem. Hacker's keyboard does not (just realizing this as I downloaded it midway through troubleshooting).

I just tested a fresh install of standard Chrome and it has the same problem.

The editor in the video seems to behave very differently from what I see when I try to reproduce this. How are you moving the cursor? With regular taps?
