The problem I encounter has happened since I begin to use Firefox on Windows 11. The same problem happened to my Macbook as well, but a workaround is available. While with Windows 11, I can't find the solution anywhere on the web. Whenever I type on the browser, if I write a non-character notation right behind the word (like "this,"), the word would usually auto delete itself or sometimes, the word clone itself out (e.g, wordword, thisthi, etc.) or it deletes a small section of words right behind that non-char. I don't have insert turning on. I am quite uncertain whether you can reproduce this error on your laptop (for me, I have been through 2 windows 11 laptop and this error still persist). This error seems to only occurs for Vietnamese (Telex and VNI) default keyboard from Microsoft, Russian and English work fine. I suspect that it is caused by Microsoft Vietnamese, but I have unchecked all kind of spelling checking on settings. So should I use a third-party Vietnamese language typing for this situation or does it caused by something else?

Chosen solution

Nevermind, I have found a workaround. Step 1: If you use Vietnamese as your first language in your system then skip this step. If you use Vietnamese as the second and lower priority language, it is recommended to remove the language package, keep the English (US) keyboard and install UniKeys

Step 2: Open UniKey, choose the typing style that you like (Telex, VNI,...) Then click on the button "Đóng" ("Close") to save the settings
