Backspace doesn't remove highlighted text in safari url completions

This is a bug in iOS itself. I can’t fix it from inside a keyboard, Apple has to. If you run into it too, tap me too here instead of reporting it again.

Steps to reproduce

  1. In the safari url bar type a url until the end of the tld
  2. Observe that a full url path is suggested
  3. Press backspace to remove the highlighted portion
  4. Observe that the letter before the highlighted portion is removed instead
  5. It's not possible to navigate to just foo.com easily

Hi. This is an iOS limitation and applies to all the third party keyboard.

Please refer to #b361 for the developer’s comment.
