@connection-reset Can you try with the latest Brave 1.3.x? Also, it looks like something is going on with the keyboard locale and Brave locale. Is everything all German locale based, Brave, keyboard, etc? |

I have now updated to 1.3.115, it is still happening. Edit: I have set Windows to English (United States) and switched the on-screen keyboard's layout to English. The input is then correct. |
Description
The first typed character in the URL bar is wrong when using the Windows 10 on-screen keyboard.
This only happens with the on-screen keyboard and only for the first action, i.e. it does not happen if I backspace or type a letter beforehand and subsequent symbols are correct.
It happens with the long-press action and the symbols page.
Steps to Reproduce
Actual result:
Instead of the symbol / (slash), the number 7 is produced. But subsequent symbols are correct.

Expected result:
The entered symbol.
Reproduces how often:
Every time, but not for all symbols, e.g. / (slash) or % (percent) produce 7 resp. 5, but # (hash) produces #.
The symbols / and % require shift on a German QWERTZ keyboard, # does not.
