Bug report: Backspace behavior when writing comments
Bug report: Backspace behavior when writing comments
Does anyone else have this weird backspace behavior when writing comments? I would describe it like this:
When writing a comment or a post I sometimes press backspace a few times to correct a word. This will delete a few characters and then delete the space between the current word and the word before this word, resulting in: first wordsecon
Can anyone describe this in a more technical way? Is this already an issue on github? I couldn't find it last time I looked.
You're viewing a single thread.
It is one of the oldest issues on GitHub. I assume you're using either AOSP Keyboard or OpenBoard, beacsue so far it seems that it only happens on those keyboards. I don't know about AOSP Keyboard, but with Openboard, in the Text Corrections section, if you disable "Show correction suggestions" it should work properly now. Link to issue: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/194 There is a comment there from the user MV-GH who has posted a screenshot (it's near the bottom) of the option you need to toggle off and it will work properly. If you need correction suggestions, I'd recoomend either switching the keyboard or switching the client.
I use GrapheneOS with stock keyboard and the issue is there. It really shouldn't be up to the end user to change the keyboard though and the fix you describe doesn't work unfortunately. It should be fixed on Jerboa. It doesn't happen in other apps.
Really? Worked for everyone else? Also, I totally agree, but the dev doesn't seem to have done anything. Edit: the issue arises from The keyboard, not from the app itself
Very strange. Works on my other phone running Samsung's flavor of Android.not on my GrapheneOS though.
Thanks for posting the GitHub link.
You're welcome!
Thank you, that was exactly it. Using AOSP Keyboard with text correction. And thanks for the github link!
No problem!
