Occurs on all Sailfish devices (including XperiaXperia which was not mentioned in the original title.title).

Behavior for Sailfish X: X: when typing a word an then deleting it, iinstead of deletion, the current prediction buffer ( word before cursor ) is inserted, with the last character being stripped. Also happens sometimes when typing interpunctuation (.;,).

For example, if you type devices and hit backspace, it will become devicesdevice. Repeatingly tapping backspace will get you something like this: devicedevdevicede

Observed on 2.2.1.18 with Firefox for Android
