Input abnormalities during reviews

Ive got following issues during reviews:

Sometimes (rare occurance) the input turns into kana and no matter what i do, letters are transformed into kana even when I shouldnt be inputting it.

Most of the time where I click for information about the word im reviewing, for example to add synonim or see what I did wrong the afromentioned problem also appears or the input cannot be focused at all, i cannot type and have to refresh the page and do most of the reviews again.

I am on firefox, are these known issues?

Don’t know about the kana… Do you have an IME?

As for the focus – this thread might be relevant:

I also use Firefox, and I’ve never seen an issue like that. Do you use any userscripts? Maybe one of them is broken.

If you encounter the issue again, could you please try record it happening?

I expect that it is due to your caps lock being on. I believe that during reviews, WK will convert any input to katakana if shift is being pressed. At least that is the behaviour I have seen.

Yeah their usage of ‘kana’ is a point of confusion for me - did they mean to say ‘katakana’ instead of ‘kana’, in which case you’re likely right about caps lock, or did they actually mean ‘kana’ and are seeing hiragana/katakana when the input should be English :man_shrugging:

I dont touch capslock nor shift during reviews.
Yes, romaji is being converted to hiragana even when the input should be in romaji. It’s random, most often happens when I do he reviews first thing in the morning, its like browser is not yet working properly lol

i guess the keyboard shortcuts could help avoiding this issue (if i can change my habits of few years). Probably still wont work when i add a synonim. The issue probably being that the input focus is still on the synonim input, not the review input, ill pay more attention next time it happens

I see, so going back to the question - what userscripts do you have installed?

Also, do you have Japanese keyboard/input installed? (Edit: for clarification, I’m asking this in case you’ve accidentally selected the Japanese keyboard, but in this case you’d be seeing hiragana everywhere you type, not just WaniKani)

I just reproduced the steps:
During review -

  1. Type your answer
  2. Add synonim
  3. Submit with enter
  4. Close with mouse / keyboard, with mouse procees to next item
  5. You can no longer focus the text input without refreshing

Do you experience the same behavior without any scripts enabled? I just tried on my end and was not able to reproduce this.
