Thanks for reporting this issue in.

Hi Frank,

just tested this with the latest Google Chrome Canary, and the issue is happening there, too. 

So I'm afraid it's related to Chromium itself and out of MS hands.

I sent a bug report to the Chromium team Issue: 1022295 , but I have few hope they'll fix it. Would be the end for any Chromium-based browser for users who rely on this "old keyboard experience". 

 

Thanks

    I can confirm the issue on both Canary and Dev.

    Beta is still good since it's an earlier build.
