iOS Text Input Issue

See original GitHub issue

I’m submitting a…

Bug report
Feature request

Reproduction steps

Get an iOS device (I am personally using an iPhone X)
Open a browser of your choice (I used Safari and Chrome)
Navigate to this JSFiddle
Select the text input box
Type

You will notice that the keyboard does not dynamically or automatically change. Ever. When you first tap on the text input box it should automatically be in Caps mode, and after typing a single character it should automatically become uncapitalised. This does not happen. Another issue double-tapping space does not produce a full-stop. If you need any reminder of how the keyboard should be behaving, just open the notes app and type for a bit.

I believe that it must be because the keyboard isn’t able to find any information on the contents of the text input box, though I’m speaking with no knowledge in the area.

Note: If you remove show from the URL of the JSFiddle, it will take you to the code.

Version information

Browser type and version: Safari (latest version), Chrome (latest version) EasyMDE version: 2.4.0

Is there any update on this?

Due to Safari changes in iOS 13, this might be moot. I’m not sure about iPhone specifically, but I’m running the public beta on my iPad and the stuck capslock issue is definitely fixed. There are other glitches around selecting text, but generally it works much better.
