Unexpected behavior in Web Browsers on Windows 11 #8
Description
I am using WinCompose version 0.9.15.1 on a Windows 11 computer and I have noticed a very peculiar issue that makes WinCompose completely dysfunctional when typing in a web browser, but for whatever has no effect on any non-browser software. When I attempt to compose a + e to get "æ", the result I get instead is, for example, "qw". If I try again I get "ɚ" (which is the expected result of e + r); on a third attempt I get "ty". It seems that when used in a browser WinCompose will ignore whatever key is actually pressed and instead cycles through the keyboard sequentially on each key press, even when not attempting to compose. I was able to confirm that WinCompose receives the incorrect character codes when typing in a browser by viewing the debug menu while typing. For example, the following is the debug log created by typing this sentence.
Some keys such as "shift" and "space" seem to be exempt from this bug. This behavior has occurred for me on Chrome and Microsoft Edge, but does not occur on Notepad, VSCode, Obsidian.md, Discord, Whatsapp, or any other non-web browser program I have tried it on; on all of these programs, WinCompose functions as expected.
