Research direction
Reproduce the issue from the linked CodePen on iOS Safari and Firefox, then compare the same steps on the reported Samsung Firefox setup. Start by tracing how EasyMDE 2.8.0 receives editor input after an iOS keyboard suggestion is selected. Done means the suggested word is inserted into the editor on both reported iOS browsers without regressing the working Android behavior.
