When I use the Chinese input method to type in the Issues input box, the first letter of the first word will be automatically entered into the input box.
Normally, when I enter "nihao", "你好" should appear in the input box, but now "n你好" appears. Currently, this problem has only been found in the issues input box.

I tried switching input methods (Microsoft Pinyin input method, RIME), disabling browser plug-ins, using multiple browsers (Edge, Chrome), and using other computers, and the problem can be reproduced.
Maybe non-English input methods may currently have such problems (Chinese, Japanese, etc...).
This may have appeared recently.
Is anyone having the same problem as me?
