Hello,

Feel free to open a pull request if you want to fix an issue. Otherwise, could you point out exactly where the typo is?

I made the typo when inputting 12 words.

I need to start from scratch each time.

If you type in a "invalid" word, that is a word that is not in the BIP-39 english words list, the wallet will give you a visual clue by crossing out the invalid word. You can keep writing but the seed will not be accepted anyway.

If you enter a valid mnemonics with valid words but somehow made a mistake and did not import the correct seed, there is no way for the wallet to know it beforehand, and you'll have to start the wallet completely, and then reset the wallet's data manually or reinstall. I think that's what you're mentioning here?

I'm not talking about valid / invalid.

I'm talking about the first character not landing on the screen.

I thought it's CSS / layout issue at first so decided to go next.

Everything was erased, not allowing me to type (multiple times) the first character.

box thing

notice the letter b
