Hey @thienlnam I'm not able to repro this either:

Can you elaborate on the repro steps? Is there anything installed on your machine that might be autocorrecting things?

Hmm, super odd - it doesn't happen to me in any other application or website, but just for NewDot this happens

I get this every time just on web but it's odd it is only happening to me

[kadiealexander]

That is really weird. Do you have any chrome extensions installed?

[thienlnam]

None that mess with my typing - welp, perhaps we can leave this open for a week just to see if anyone can reproduce and if not we can close?

[kadiealexander]

Sounds good! Not overdue.

[kadiealexander]

I'm gonna close this since it can't be reproduced @thienlnam, if you have any reliable repro steps or can find someone else to repro it please feel free to reopen!
