Inputmask: Can't input character at the end if it's also a placeholder on Android

[alexey-m-ukolov]

Inputmask: 3.6.6, 3.6.7, 4.0.1-13 and probably others.
dependencyLibs: vanilla and jquery.
Platform: Android 4.4, Android 5.1, Android 6.0 and probably others.
Browser: Chrome 59, Firefox 54 and probably others.
Example: https://jsfiddle.net/alexey_m_ukolov/wafv0L70/1/

In Chrome it's impossible to input "10" in the input field, because it ends with the placeholder character. In Firefox the behaviour is even more wierd - caret jumps here and there, but I still can't input zero at the end.

I've traced the issue to this code: https://github.com/RobinHerbots/Inputmask/blob/4.x/js/inputmask.js#L2641-L2645, but I can't understand what's going on there (or, rather, _why_ it is going on). When I comment out line with inputValue = inputValue.replace(bufferTemplate, ""); everything works as expected, I can type anything I want.

What is the objective here, why is placeholder at the end of input being removed?

Oh, it's a duplicate of #1617. Sorry, I've searched before opening an issue, but #1617 is not very specific. Hope additional information will be helpful.

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Thanks for the fix! Will it be added to the 3.x version?

@alexey-m-ukolov ,

Yes it will! I'm further working on enhancing the inputfallback (android). These changes will be added to the 3.x version and become 3.3.8.
