[bug] Text duplication with anysoftkeyboard #176

Description

@l-imei

If the given text is recognized (underlined) by anysoftkeyboard, pressing enter causes it to be duplicated onto the new line.

pressing backspace doesn't remove the word, it just shifts it back to the previous line and appends it to the previous word which then, if enter and backspace are pressed in an alternating fashion causes expontential text duplication as shown here:

dupli_nom.mp4

This bug does not occur with google's gboard, but it appears specific to this editor as anysoftkeyboard has no issue with other editors.

I've messed around anysoftkeyboard settings but there is no option that prevents this from occuring except disabling auto correct outright

this can be prevented by simply adding a space before hitting enter
but:
1.that's a completely unnecessary extra input
2.users shouldn't need to change their typing habits
3.apps shouldn't rely on users acting a certain way for the app to work as intended

This issue was posted on both this github page and the page and the one of anysoftkeyboard
