Nice finding! Thanks for the quick hack! Another way (takes a bit more time to get used to) is to press Ctrl key before pressing Space. This effectively finalizes and commits the word, and can be used to stop adding accent marks within the same word. It can also be applied to Windows version: pressing A, then Ctrl, then S produces "as".

Do not press Ctrl or Spacebar, which will commit the word. * Press either Shift key. Expected result: * Nothing happens, or the typed character should not change, at the very least. Actual result: * Typed word reverts back to "aws". The underline on the word still retains, meaning that the word is not yet committed. This issue is a real nuisance when typing a Vietnamese word followed by a Shift-punctuation (e.g. a question mark right after the word). Remarks: * This issue does not happen on any other programs, only happens on Chromium and Google Chrome, versions 79 to 83 (and possibly next versions). * Using fcitx-mozc, after typing a Japanese word, the Shift key does not change the character. * This issue, more or less, is similar to bug #1859294, although not a strict duplicate. * This issue has been reported in Chromium Bugs, at: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1086946 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1861882/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
