Description Andres Gomez 2016-04-05 15:14:13 UTC 
Epiphany 3.18.5 and WebKit 2.10.8 running from the official package in Debian Testing.

1. Login in http://www.facebook.com
2. Wait until de initial page has been completely logged.
3. Set the focus in the edit box for a new entry.
4. Press, in order "Alt + 3" -> #, "Alt + e" -> €, backspace, "Shift + e" -> E

Expected:
- "#E" is written.

Actual:
- "#EEEEEEEEE" is written, and it continues adding more "E"s ...

Notes:
- This is *NOT* reproducible with MiniBrowser.
- This can be reproduced with other letters, no need of an EURO layout, but, clearly, have some relation to the use of the "Alt" modifier.

I meant "AltGr", for every occasion in which "Alt" is mentioned.

Ditto.

The patches attached to bug #764653 also fix this issue.

This is another symptom of bug #764653 and the patches in there fixes this misbehavior. Closing this bug as DUPLICATED.

Thanks for the report!
