There are no such known issues with typing in Edge or any other browser.

There is no echo there. As you type, pressing and releasing each key will
always produce a pair of events - one for pressing the key (keydown) and
the other for releasing the key (keyup). This is how it's possible for
applications to know that you are holding down a key, or that you are
holding down multiple keys at once (as you did when typing the capital "A",
or while typing the "no" in "Another").
