Samsung Keyboard: Special signs are printed twice no matter which character follows

[AC Question]

In some applications/forms in browser it happens that when I type a special character followed by a number or a letter, the keyboard just resumes the special character.
E.g., when I try to type "abc.def" it does "abc..ef". I could also do "abc!def" and it does "abc!!ef".

This only happens when I activate the automatic text completion. It seems that the keyboard assumes that after a special character, another one must follow.

I first noticed this bug on 07.10.2016. I didn't change anything. I already deleted the application data, but it didn't change.

Phone: Galaxy S7
Samsung-Keyboard Version: 1.3.22
Android Version: 6.0.1

I've got the exact same problem. It seems to only appear while writinf emails. SMS and whatsapp are fine.
Any help?

Hey!

If you serach this forum for "Repeating first letter when typing on Samsung Galaxy keyboard" you'll find the advice to deactivate Android system Web View.
I tried it (S7) and it fixed the problem!
I hope this will be a lasting solution.
