Current Behavior

When I start to type, nothing happens. Even f5 doesn't work. The page is not frozen, or at least the cursor animation isn't, but rather every input is captured and then ignored. I can't even click anything on the page.

Expected Behavior

It should not ignore my inputs

Steps To Reproduce

I'm using Brave. On Ungoogled-Chromium the issue doesn't occur.

  1. Open monkeytype.com
  2. Click in the center of the page
  3. Start typing

If you opened the page for the first time, the bug probably occurs.
After a reload, the bug is gone, probably due to the faster loading speed because of browser caching.
To have the bug consistently, one can disable cache in the dev-tools. (tab) Network -> (checkbox) Disable cache.

The issue happened very consistently when I had the language tool spellchecking extension activated as well.

Environment
  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Browser: Brave
  • Browser Version: 122.1.63.165
Anything else?

This is what the network tab looks like when the bug occurs.

The issue does occur even without any extensions installed.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on monkeytype.com in Brave with cache disabled, following the listed steps, and compare behavior with Ungoogled-Chromium. Use the network-tab evidence and the first-load timing described in the report to investigate; done means page input and controls work normally without requiring a reload.
