On Mojave, when using the Character Viewer (Emojis & Symbols) while inputting text / writing a message, clicking any emoji or character causes the page to reload.

To reproduce:

  1. Load any webpage that lets you input text, E.g., kagi dot com, writing a comment on Orionfeedback, etc.
  2. Click on the search box.
  3. Control+cmd+space or click 'Show Emoji & Symbols' on the Menu Bar to bring up the Character Viewer.
  4. Click on any character or emoji.

What did you expect to happen?:
Able to add characters without it reloading the page.

Versions effected:

0.99.126.3.1-rc,
macOS 10.14.6

Compatibility Mode?:
No difference.

Without Extensions?:

Does it happen on Safari?:
No. Both Orion and Safari on Sonoma 14.1.1 do not have this bug.

    Can be marked as 'Done' as it doesn't reload anymore. I believe it's working since 0.99.127.3-rc (WebKit 619.1.1) 😀
    Thank you!
