What is the text bar that appears on the bottom and how do I remove it?

Hey everyone,
Ever since I got the most recent Safari update when I try to type in another language other than English this strange bar appears and doesn't let me type on the website itself. I tried typing and pressing enter but that doesn't do anything either... when I click the little button on the left side it closes only to come back when I try to type in another language again.
It seems like it only happens on that website so far (typing in English works fine though) but it's just that it's never happened before until today (a day after the update I think). Does anyone know what it is and how to turn it off?
I can type in another language then copy and paste, but it's just really annoying and tedious! If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated!

I usually use Option + Space to change between languages so maybe that's why?
I doubt it.  When you say "other language" you mean Japanese or Chinese, right?
Long ago various apps could only input Asian scripts via that bar below and not "inline" as we do now.  I don't know what causes this to reappear.
Does Firefox work?
If you set up a new user account, does they same thing happen when logged into that?
