Confirm that this issue does occur when testing with the latest alpha (v16.0.49) on Android 10 (API 29) and Android 11 (API 30) in both system keyboard and in-app.

I saw it affect an Android user with version 15.0.268 last week, so it may not be new in 16.x.

I believe this is fixed by #7156. Can you confirm @MakaraSok @bharanidharanj?

[bharanidharanj]

@mcdurdin Retested this issue with Keyman 16.0.54-alpha-test-7156 build in both Android emulator and Redmi Note 8 Pro device (Ver 11.0) and I was not able to reproduce it. Seems to be fixed and working fine with the #7156 PR build. Hence, I am closing the same. Thanks.

Just a note on process here. While the fix is testing fine with a PR, we don't normally close an issue until the fix is merged to master, and the developer would go ahead and close rellated issues once they do the merge. 😁

@mcdurdin Okay. Thanks for the Clarification, Marc. :-)
