Current Behavior

Even when typing incorrect input, monkeytype will not fail me.

Expected Behavior

I should be failed if I press the wrong button.

Steps To Reproduce

I can not perfectly reproduce the behavior. But it seems to happen more often if I open the tab with my Japanese IME on. Monkeytype generally stops the behavior if I reload the page.

Environment
  • OS: macos
  • Browser: chrome
  • Browser Version: 121.0.6167.139
Anything else?

Here is a video of the behavior

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Chrome on macOS with a Japanese IME enabled, comparing logged-in, logged-out, incognito, and reloaded sessions. Trace the master difficulty input handling to determine why incorrect input is sometimes accepted. Done means incorrect input reliably causes failure, including when the tab opens with the IME active.
