Description me 2023-10-07 22:23:44 UTC
SUMMARY
When I press some keys or a key combination on one application and then focus to my browser (either LibreWolf or Firefox,) some of these key inputs will be duplicated to the browser. So if, for instance, I'm in Inkscape and press CTRL+S to save and then I go to my browser, it will interpret a new CTRL+S and open up the page save dialog. For some reason this doesn't happen on any other application or on Chromium based browsers.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press something like a bunch of keys or key combos on any application
2. Focus on a Firefox based browser

OBSERVED RESULT
The browser takes duplicate inputs from the other application.

EXPECTED RESULT
The browser shouldn't think anything was pressed.

I cannot reproduce anything of the sort.

Can you confirm if you have a virtual keyboard or other input method set?

No, I just have a normal Italian keyboard layout.
