Research direction

Start by reproducing the editor behavior described in the issue using version 1.111.0, the supplied video examples, and the listed browser and Linux environment. Narrow down whether repeated insertion and phrase deletion still occur, then identify the relevant editor input path; done means normal typing no longer duplicates or deletes text.
