Describe the issue

Steps to reproduce (sadly this might be OS specific):

  1. Open codemirror.net with Firefox
  2. Using the ES OS keyboard layout: type "\" (see image)

Notice that this problem does not happen on Chrome nor Safari. It is only present in Firefox.

I tested with two keyboards (ES and US physical layouts) and different OS layouts:

Keyboard Layout (physical) MacOS Layout (software) Can render \?
ES ES No
ES US Yes
US ES No
US US Yes

Additionally, when trying to type "\" it shows the autocomplete pane/window, I made a small gif which might be of help:
