Firefox Mobile + Gboard behaves poorly

[edemaine]

I reviewed the state of the latest CodeMirror on various Android browsers and keyboards. I found that my personal favorite combination, Chrome + SwiftKey, now works very well, so that's what I'll recommend to my users. I found some problems with Firefox and Gboard individually, and especially together. Here's one consistent reproduction sequence that might be helpful for debugging:

• Load https://codemirror.net/demo/sublime.html
• Tap right after a comma at the end of one of the lines (e.g. line 2)
• Swipe a word like "hello" (without lifting your finger)
• The cursor ends up to the left of "hello", instead of to the right of "hello" as it should.
• Swiping another word like "world" puts that word before "hello" instead of "after"

Hello, is there any progress on this matter? I found that any MultiByte-based Gboard, on both iOS and Android, performs weirdly due to it's word conversion. Example, normallly はなし -> 話, however upon inputing な after は , the cursor resets in front of は , making it hard to input text.

No issue on PC though.

Edit: Happends on Mobile Chrome too

Did you try the version 6 demo? While CodeMirror 6 is far from usable, it is intended to fix issues like these.

@adrianheine Thank you for introducing version 6 :) It solved word conversion issue, however the 1st multibyte letter on the line will reset the gboard input.

I understand is still far from completion, heres my experience at the moment.

By using the the はなし -> 話 example again, I will need to type は, な, し in order to convert it to 話. The current symptom is, if I try to input it on the beginning on the line, after inputing は, gboard resets as it starts to input another word. (This do not happen in the middle of the line)

Thanks for trying out the demo! If you feel like it you could open an issue about your problem on https://github.com/codemirror/codemirror.next/issues.
