Description of the issue:
I have been successfully using the Brave browser on Kubuntu Linux for many years. Recently I updated my Kubuntu to version 25.04 Plucky Puffin and thats when this issue began. If it matters on Kubuntu I am using Wayland and not X11. The current Brave version I have installed is 1.78.102. The issue is if I type something into the URL/Address bar the characters I type are doubled. For example if I type “homedepot” it shows in the URL/Address bar as “hhoommeeddeeppoott”. However, if I prefix the characters I want to enter with a single colon, that is a “:”, then the characters after the colon are no longer doubled but the colon itself is still doubled. That is I can type “::homedepot” into the URL/Address bar just fine. This issue started when I updated to Kubuntu 25.04 from 24.10 and was with a slighty older version of the Brave browser. Since then I have updated the Brave browser version at least 2 or 3 times and the issue persists. I have tried “Reset settings” inside Brave and the issue persists.
