[BUG] Removes 2 characters at a somewhat regular interval and appends them in reverse order to end of output when inserting text to fields/clipboard, the final text in "History" is not effected. #825

Describe the bug

This bug has existed for a couple of versions now. I cannot remember if it happened before I updated to macOS 27 (but I think it was)

What reaches the text field or my clipboard:
(look at the last characters fol rkch then as you read, notice a few words missing characters --> same ones. I have used markdown bold "**" to show where I think the characters come from.
("DiT" is from my dictionary, this isn't a bug, it's my bad, I'm leaving it in incase the auto-replacement feature is somehow a factor in this bug triggering))

What's my workaround? My personal style is often to check up on something, see what you've done, improve it, and then not touch it again for several days. I need to be able to tell you to do some work, take your time, and do your work.

It takes 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes. I don't care how long it takes, but I want to be able to come back days later and think about it. I don't want to have to **wat** you. What do I need to make this feature work?

I want what it offers because OpenAI hosts the website for me. If I later choose to make it a domain of my own, I can. What do I need to make this **wo**? That's all I'm asking. I really don't care why, or what, or when, or how.

The reason I'm asking you for what the skill said is because I can't DiT this one. I was thinking about making a new **skilthat** does the exact same thing except removes the approval gate. There's nothing I will ask you to make using this tool that needs to be locked down privately. If I'm making something that I'm not okay with the updates being immediately published, I would either make the site not publicly available or do something else. I wouldn't use this tool.

So this restriction is nothing but a restriction **r** me. It doesn't help me. **fol rkch**

Notice how the letters that make up fol rkch seem to come from words in reverse order of their occurenc?
(the later errors in the body of text insert their letters earlier in the end-of-transcript vomit)
fo came from the last line r meant to be for
l came from skilthat meant to be skill that
rk came from wo meant to be work
ch came from wat meant to be `watch

So you notice the difference between what gets output into the text field (and clipboard) does not match the text in "FINAL TEXT". Something is happening between those two steps, and my experience tells me it's some voodoo in the macOS/swift APIs because every damn OS release apple messes with text input and text fields and I spend the next year waiting on apps to update (or not), then they do it again. (The ChatGPT app on iOS has text field bugs that have persisted since iOS 26 Beta 1 🤬)
