Description

On some occasions a sort of Autocomplete removes or changes characters.
The following instances have been observed:

Test Step Expected Result Observed Behavior
Add Capital letter after a special character, such as # or [ The letter is inserted and the character remains The letter is inserted and the special character is replaced by a blank space
Add a line break A line break is inserted and nothing else happens A line break is inserted and the preceding character is removed
Add a line break in a list A line break is inserted and nothing else happens A line break is inserted and formatting is autocompleted to continue the list (i.e. indentation and * or numbering)

These were observed on an Android in Google Chrome using Gboard. Gboard autocomplete and autocorrect are turned off.
The behavior could not be reproduces in different contexts, such as Google Keep, or this issue editor.

Start by reproducing the three listed cases in the issue editor on Android 13 with Chrome and Gboard, then compare behavior with the other contexts mentioned. Done means capital letters preserve special characters, line breaks preserve preceding characters, and list formatting is not unexpectedly continued.
