talkback braille keyboard adding extra letters before slashes

hey folks, good day. so i updated my talkback to 17.0 a few days ago. what the current update is. things were working fine but i started noticing that typing url's into the address bars wasnt taking me to those pages. a lot of this site cant be reached. upon checking my url would be wrong and then i'd have to go back and fix it.

so i'm using the talkback braille keyboard in uncontracted ueb mode. and it adds an extra letter the the character typed before the slash the moment you type a letter next to it. so r/blind becomes r r blind. if i add a space after it then it doesn't. like r/ but adding a period would, like rr/.

heres a test i'm going to type letter A to D, with a slash inbetween. happens with backslash as well. uncontracted: aa/bb/cc/d. contracted: a/b/c/d.

seems to only happen with uncontracted but i dont use contracted. nor do i know how to. doesnt happen with the normal qwerty too. has anyone else noticed this? dont think its supposed to be like this. thank you. have a great day.

edit: its happening on all 3 devices i have around so i can't be the only one. for anyone else experiencing this, the solution for now is to just give it a space after typing slash, delete the space, and then continue typing. like r/blind. else if you write it in one go it will add the extra character like rr/blind. hope it helps someone.
