Status: Fixed (reducing confusion by changing how the sample works)

The sample is demonstrating the bot's typing by mirroring user's typing. In other words, when the user types, the bot will send a typing indicator at the same time.

This is not a production issue, but we should update the sample to make it less confusing. Probably a separate button on the page to ask the bot to send a typing indicator (instead of mirroring).

As verified issue on URL: Web Chat: Full-featured bundle (microsoft.github.io) on Browser: Edge Chromium Version 96.0.1028.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit), here issue is fixed. Hence closing the bug.
