### Reproduced
1. Use Firefox on Mac
2. Create new note
3. Press and hold 'e' key, for example
4. Once a popup with diacritics appear, select the option ~> this will result in two letters: 'e' followed by the one you've chosen.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Firefox on macOS by creating a note and choosing a diacritic from the held-key popup in the editor. Trace the editor's input handling around that interaction; done means selecting a diacritic inserts only the chosen letter, not the base letter followed by it.
