Description of the issue:
Text replacement immediately steps in while I am typing an url in the search bar. This means that I can’t type in the expected address and end up with a string that includes the text replacement result.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Enter an URL that includes any text replacement string defined in ios
Expected result:
Prompt for auto-complete (this is what happens in safari, etc.)
Brave Version( check About Brave
):
1.33
Mobile Device details
ios 15

Description of the issue:
iOS keyboard text replacements are inappropriately activated when typing in the URL field/search bar.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Open the Brave browser.
Select the URL field/search bar.
If necessary, clear the URL field/search bar.
Type a text replacement shortcut and an additional letter (which should not trigger replacement).
For example, imagine that you’ve mapped “pl” to “plastic”. (Because, DUH, you work as a plastics engineer and you type the word “pla…

Description of the issue:
I am using a keyboard folio with an iPad Pro 11. When I begin to backspace a url, it keeps autofilling after every single backspace. This means I have to press backspace twice as many times as required. The behavior should be similar to safari.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Select the url in the url bar
Press backspace
The url autofills
I have to press backspace to clear the autofill and then press backspace again to delete the next chara…

For whatever reason, whenever I type ‘ti’ into the search bar, the URL autocomplete feature changes it to ‘to’- this isn’t Apple autocorrect, as it occurs instantly the second I type the ‘i’. It wants to take me to something called ‘tometap.com ’ which does not exist and is a site I’m sure I’ve never visited. This issue has persisted through several updates and history deletions.
I am using the current version of Brave (1.22.1) on an iPhone XS running iOS 13.6.
Here is a screenshot of the issue…

@whhskdh47472647 ,
Can you try clearing your browsing history/cache/data and see if this autofill entry gets removed along with it?
@whhskdh47472647 ,
Apologies for the late reply.
Can you confirm that you didn’t accidentally bookmark this website (somehow)? I’m unable to reproduce this issue and a colleague of mine tested on 6 different devices unsuccessfully so it’s likely specific to data on your device.
@whhskdh47472647 ,
Apologies but I think I’m confused – so you have gone to “timetap” in Brave before? But it doesn’t show up in your Brave hisotry?
@whhskdh47472647 ,
Apologies again for the delay – I haven’t forgotten about this thread. The team is not sure why this would be happening either and you may be right that it is an apple autocorrect issue. It is strange though that it doesn’t happen in other browsers.
I’m going to keep this thread open in case any more information pops up – I do appreciate your patience.
