What is the current behavior?
IMEs (input method editors) intercept keyboard events and conflict with the patch in #24606, since both are assigning a value to the native input, resulting in duplicate values on keypress. This also breaks the back button behavior (observed in Japanese IME).
Issue Number: #24669
What is the new behavior?
To prevent conflicts with IMEs and preserve the patch from the PR that introduced the new issue, it is recommended that we bind event listeners to
compositionstartandcompositionendto detect when a composition event from an IME is occurring and skip writing the value to the native input control while the event is in flight (inspired from: ng-select/ng-select#1274)Does this introduce a breaking change?
Other information
While triaging this issue, a Stencil bug was discovered (stenciljs/core#3235) that prevents using the JSX bindings for the composition events.
To verify this issue, you can temporarily add a Japanese keyboard to your iOS device and open the basic input test in the browser. A guide on how to add the keyboard is available here: https://techwiser.com/use-japanese-keyboard-iphone.
