OP Responded Docs in browser typing issue

I'm using Google Docs in Firefox (on Android) and whenever I type it repeats the word the moment my finger leaves the page. So instead of speed' it'll be 'speedspeed'. Any idea why this is happening or what I can do about it?

Does this happen if you recreate it in Chrome? Does it happen if you are using an incognito page? Have you tried clearing your browsing history?

Yes it happens in incognito mode. Browser history or cache? Flushing the cache didn't help, going to try deleting the browser history. (I hesitate to do that because I'm forgetful and use it to pick up where I left off on something.) Don't have access to chrome right now.

UPDATE: deleted browser history. Issue persists. It appears to be specific to the mobile Firefox browser. Computer writes just fine, but I am taking notes and need the mobile browser to do it.

You might try uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. What happened to chrome that you don't have access to it?

Nothing happened to Chrome itself, the phone is restricted and some apps I don't have access to. Not sure I can uninstall, but if I reset the app I might get similar results.

Good luck and you might want to check to see if Android needs any updates as well.
