Firefox backspace button doesn't work on GOS
Not sure if this is a GOS or Firefox issue.
Go to qwant.com, type something om the form, backspace doesn't work. Same result with ebay.com.
Using GrapheneOS, built-in keyboard, Firefox 150. Tried with and without ublock origin.
I think it has been a week or so since it started.
Anyone else got this issue?
Sorry if it's the wrong place to ask.
And thanks to the GOS devs, you have saved me from so many frustrations.
Edit: so far two people in comments seem to have similar problems so it's not just me.
Edit2: seems to only happen with some sites like qwant and ddg, and only with built-in GrapheneOS keyboard.
Curious if it happens on Android
Edit3: Duckduckgo now works, removed it from list
I'm using IronFox on graphene with Heliboard as my keyboard and it's working fine, just checked.
Using Firefox on android with heliboard and does not work on duckduckgo
Did you try it on qwant.com search form?
I didn't, but I have now, still works, both from qwant in my address bar and on their actual form
Starting to look it happens only with the built-in keyboard
Using FlorisBoard on IronFox backspace works fine..
I updated to Firefox 150 + ublock using GBoard on GrapheneOS and it's working.
I disable network access to gboard. I don't trust it.
I use the built-in "keyboard".
Did you try it on qwant.com search form?
Oh, I changed to the in-built keyboard and summoned some real demons in quant.
The backspace key would add characters as I typed. If I held it down, it just kept adding.
I mashed out about 10 characters, a space, another character, then hit backspace.
Thank you, I haven't seen that but surely it's related.
I think I known what you're seeing but it's specific to modifying a search query on ddg for me. It works fine otherwise.
can you capture a short clip of what's happening on your side?
Exactly. Also happens on other sites like qwant. Not on google for some reason.
So I'm not alone. I think you have the exact same issue then.
I never did a capture, but the steps to reproduce are: search for something on qwant or ddg, or just type something on qwant.com search and then try backspace. Bacspace doesn't work on the search form on the page.
I've had this happen with DDG on desktop Firefox on Bazzite too but very infrequently
So the question is is that another bug or is this some weird multi OS Firefox bug?
From the other comments it looks as it would have something to do with the GOS keyboard but I'm not sure at all.
First step would be figuring out where to create the issue...
This is really strange, but DDG now works propely for me with Heliboard. Modifying a search query no longer causes input to go crazy.
Are you able to confirm?
I haven't used Heliboard.
Using the built-in kb I still get the bug in qwant.com and ebay.com.
But you're right, DDG seems to have been fixed somehow and backspace now works.
