Mobile input broken with GBoard

[MichalPetryka]

Code text editing is broken on mobile when using GBoard. The text field randomly removes, shuffles and duplicates parts of text.

Thanks for reporting! This is something that is impossible to fix in the current editor. However I am working on upgraded editor for a while -- I'll let you know when it is ready to try.

Since this affects multiple websites, I feel like this should be reported to the GBoard support too. Would you be interested in reporting it there (they may take a report from a website owner more seriously)?

I believe GBoard is just one example -- CodeMirror 5 was never fully mobile-friendly.
There is a lot of (historically justified) complexity in the way CM5 handles things, and not being the author of this library, I don't understand all this complexity well enough to report an issue usefully.

Once CodeMirror 6 integration is out, if it is broken as well, I would be happy to discuss with the author and report if needed.

I doubt this has anything to do with GBoard doing something wrong - I use Samsung Keyboard and have always had this issue on mobile.

I've also seen text moving around/duplicated/etc on mobile and I use SwiftKey.
