[Firefox] [Chrome] Backspace behaviour is not consistent

[sdqali]

When using backspace in most cases, the plugin does the right thing and continues to give suggestions for the remaining part of the word. This can be seen here:

In some cases, when you hit backspace, the suggestions stop showing up for the rest of the word. This can be seen here:

This behavior can be reproduced on the in-browser editor offered by BitBucket.
I have not looked into what exactly is going wrong.

Is this happening in both the addons? Or just chrome?

Both.

I did a quick check. It looks like data-varnam-input-value attribute on the editor is not getting updated when pressing backspace. On other textareas it works well.

I have also noticed that Bitbucket is using Codemirror as the editor and codemirror may be intercepting some events.

Try this,

• Goto bitbucket edit page
• Right click and inspect
• In the JS console, try document.activeElement.value, you should see it is not giving full value. It is giving only the value for the current line. So because of this, hasTextChanged() method returns false causing no server requests and no suggestions.
