   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • Holding alt+backspace long press remove extra characters after release (should stop immediately) #3301: Reports similar alt+backspace functionality issues with word deletion not working properly (long press behavior and deletion overshoot)

   Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
