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.
Worse: When jumping back and forth sometimes the text appears at another postion than the cursor and overwrites words it for some reason considers the one you are typing.
Same with me. Makes writing really hard because you really don’t wont to add something later or chaos ensures.
Yes, and it is very annoying.
However it does not seem to be happening now with Jerboa 0.0.42.Edit: This is still happening for me too, as of Jerboa 0.0.42, with the AOSP keyboard. It does not happen in any other apps.
I use v0.0.42 and I still get it
Updating the version to 0.0.42 didn’t help in my case.
@whatever and @Flyswat, you’re right, it still happens with Jerboa 0.0.42. I didn’t realize the behavior was related to the specific keyboard in use.
Yes. I have found you have to tap the end of the comment to erase any spaces there, then continue typing the comment. Otherwise it will type in the middle of a sentence somewhere.
As @theshatterstone54@feddit.uk suggested: Turning off auto correction (‘Autokorrektur’) solves the problem with my AOSP keyboard temporarily.
Let’s hope there will be a better fix in the future, because as a non native english speaker I rely heavily on auto correction. Changing keyboard would be annoying, my fingers just got used to this one. And changing to another client than Jerboa would be sad as well, it’s the only client on f-droid.
I’ve never not had this issue while writing a comment since I first downloaded it, back to v0.0.35 around 2 months ago. Hopefully it’ll be addressed soon.
It’s quite frustrating, but I ended up being used to work around it (mainly tapping multiple times to the end of the comment). Feels like whacking an old TV to make it work.
I have a similar issue with the line break and the numbers. Double tapping it will copy the last word word If I enter a number it wil also copy it4it.
