Korean Language Input Error on Address Bar When Using Search Shortcuts

I experienced the issue for the first time on November 22nd, 2020. In other words, probably the latest update is causing the problem.

The address bar omits the last (or two) keyboard input when the search shortcut is used. For instance, I set "ddg" as the keyword for Duckduckgo search shortcut. I type "ddg 파이어폭스" on the address bar and hit enter. The browser shows the search result for the word "파이어폭". Sometimes instead of omitting the inputs, the browser simply ignores the search shortcut function. In that case, I see the search result page on Google (which is my default search engine) for "ddg 파이어폭스".

I'm sharing the optional usage data anyway, but in short, I'm on Firefox for Windows 10.
