passwordbox repeating text on mobile devices

[squidoz]

HI all,

I am wondering what I am doing wrong or what I have missed with this strange behavior.

I have a login screen that works perfectly fine on a PC using Chrome Browser.

When I try to login on a mobile device (specifically Samsung android using either Chrome or Internet Browser) I am getting the alpha characters duplicated/repeated. Numeric entry has no problem, but as soon as I start entering alpha characters in my password it starts to repeat previous alpha entries.
ie
user types 123456 for password, password box contains 123456
users types 123abc, it now contains 123aababc when I reveal the password.

If I enter with the reveal text displayed, it enters perfectly, but this is a little pointless for a password box.

Why is this behavior occurring?

I just had a look at the demo examples, and this behavior is the same.
Enter abcdefg into the password box, click on reveal password and it contains ababcabcdabcdeabcdefabcdefg

Which version of the jQuery are you using? Please try to set some configuration parameters with different values.

Code:

$('#pb').passwordbox({
  passwordChar: '*',
  checkInterval: 200,
  lastDelay: 500
});

I just made sure I have the latest jquerymin.3.3.1

The same behavior is shown with the examples here on this site so I do not think it is the version of jquery.

If I open that link on a Samsung S8 or S9 phone it produces the same strange behavior.
If I open on my PC then it works fine.
Numeric characters are OK, only alpha characters. I have not tried extended characters
