Firefox automatically deletes my text after I type the "." after it.

I am currently using the Vietnamese Telex IME of Windows 11 and I just found out that whenever I type the "." after any word, that word will be deleted. This is how to recreate the bug: 1. Type "hello " 2. Backspace (delete) 1 time, now it is "hello" 3. Type "." and the whole thing is deleted, turned into an "." string instead of "hello."

I just wanna ask if there is any setting or config that can solve this problem. Thanks.

Hi,

Is this issue Firefox-specific? I mean, does it occur in other browsers/apps?

Yes this is Firefox-specific. It works totally normal on Edge, Chrome and Brave.

Got it. To clarify, this doesn't happen when you aren't using Vietnamese IME, right?

To make sure this is not caused by any modifications to Firefox, could you please try creating a new Firefox profile and see if the issue persists there? If it does, the best would be reporting this on Bugzilla, Mozilla's bug tracker, so that the developers can take a look.
