Fwiw, i think it has something to do with android spell checker. Disabling that seemed to help.

Checked for the version 19.0.6.3 - with the spell checker on/off and for a desktop version on mobile - the issue was not reproducible. Could the issue be specific only to 19.0.3.12?

See T325222: Flow/StructuredDiscussions Extension: Code Stewardship Review for discussion of Flow maintenance status.

Is this also happening in the new (VisualEditor based) wikitext editor and/or in DiscussionTools? In theory, they all use the same editing surface.
