Snippets not deleting keyword in Chrome when auto-expanding

[himat]

This is a problem for me only in Chrome.

In the omnibar, when I type in the snippet keyword "mail0", it should replace it with "someurl". But instead, it's making it become "mailsomeurl", so it's not deleting the entire keyword for some reason.

Alfred Preferences → Features → Snippets → Auto expansion options → Tweaking → Simulated key event speed (make it slower).

I put it on the slowest setting, and it didn't change anything.

What's also weird is that in any other text box, like in this comment box that I'm typing in right now, if I put the setting on the slowest, I can see it getting slower when it replaces the keyword.

But in the chrome omnibar, the speed is actually not reduced. The keyword gets replaced at the same speed as on fast.

@himat Do you have any Chrome plugins? I'm also using Chrome, on the same OS version, same Alfred version, and snippets expand in the Chrome bar in the blink of an eye (with simulated key events set to fastest), so there could be a plugin slowing down your browser's normal operation, or a broader reason why your Mac is slow.

 

If you try the same thing in Safari and in TextEdit, do snippets expand normally? If so, take a closer look at Chrome to see what could be causing it to be slower at responding than it should be.
