Current Behavior

Even when typing incorrect input, monkeytype will not fail me.

Expected Behavior

I should be failed if I press the wrong button.

Steps To Reproduce

I can not perfectly reproduce the behavior. But it seems to happen more often if I open the tab with my Japanese IME on. Monkeytype generally stops the behavior if I reload the page.

Environment

• OS: macos
• Browser: chrome
• Browser Version: 121.0.6167.139

Anything else?

And this happens in incognito too?

Just tried to replicate this bug in incognito mode. It's hard to tell because it's so inconsistent, however, I can say confidently that an English test with a Japanese IME will break the difficulty.

Notice that I can press space even with a mistake, meaning that it is not applying either the master or expert difficulty rules.

I noticed something similar:

However, if I now press space, the test will correctly fail, just a bit too late.
This happens if I use a sticky apostrophe and then enter any character, so maybe japanese characters are also sticky in some way while entering?

If this is something else than what OP experiences then my deepest apologies for derailing.

Hey, I figured out how to reproduce this bug consistently. Here is a step by step:

1. Open monkeytype in incognito
2. set difficulty to master
3. change IME to Japanese
4. fail test
5. change IME to English
6. restart test

From then on the difficulty will act effectively as if it were expert difficulty instead of master, and even if you make a mistake and erase it, the accuracy on the end screen will always show 100%.
