Compatibility issue between third-party keyboards and address bar suggestions

This issue occurs specifically with Japanese text input. I don’t know whether it also happens with other languages.

Currently, when I type in the address bar, autocomplete activates and prevents me from typing correctly. Specifically:

• When suggestions are displayed and I type a vowel, the preceding consonant gets entered twice. • If I dismiss the suggestion list, I’m no longer able to perform text conversion (henkan).

Even after adjusting all the address bar suggestion settings, bookmark suggestions and this support site’s address still get autocompleted. Please allow me to configure a setting that disables all autocompletion in the address bar, including these.
