  The caret stops at the end of the previous line and sendKeyEvent on inactive InputConnection is available in the log. No video available atm, but I can make it.

I tested the versions v1.3.27, and v1.3.28 and both worked without problems.
The issue was introduced in v1.3.29. cc @marecar3

Thanks, @daniloercoli, probably one of chromebook fixes introduced that bug.
I will come back with the details. cc @khaykov

Addressed in #855.

fwiw, I did a quick test of this on my Pixel 3 with Android 10 using WPAndroid alpha-190 (13.3 alpha) and saw the problem once in several tries. (1m56s)
