Expected:

I longpress the dot and it shows me alternatives. If I let go I automatically type a comma instead, because it's the first selected key after long press.

Now:

longpress defaults to the dot and I have to select and watch to really hit the comma. This extra effort is slightly annoying and in contrast to my previously learned touchtyping.

Ni UX designer for clarification. I remember we implemented this at some point.

This was the intended design by our UX designer, the reason behind it is to avoid user from accidentally triggering the "alternative keys" when hesitated while typing. We can do some user testing to see if this actually is the case, if not, UX is OK with changing the design.
