Something funny in the editor on Android

[MossCommuter]

Going back over a post to edit it, I mean by clicking into the text to change something, it hitsa but won't sometimes. I mean read that last sentence which I edited, it's supposed to say "goes a bit wonky"

Whole words get changed either side of the cursor.

I can't make it do it on demand and it could be a Google keyboard issue but I've only noticed it on cycle chat.

Are you using SwiftKey ?

Google keyboard, stock Android bit the same sptoms

That says "symptoms"

I'm using Swype keyboard on an Android phone and when I press on a word to change it, the list of possibles comes up, I press the one I want to change it to but it often gives me something random. Just the last few days.

Swype, SwiftKey and Google keyboard

CC is the common factor

Switch javascript off?

It has gone bonkers for me too of late...

Not just typing, links such as "Top" & "Quote" disappear at random.

Clicking on a link, from the page, to a thread can take you elsewhere.

I get it where i type something incorrectly, hit the predicted word and it appends the correct word to the incorrect word, but the resulting word is the length of what it thought it would be.

I think it is an update issue and seems to be on all Xenforo sites.

Try updating all your keyboard apps and restart your device.

When I had a similar problem, it also manifested in disqus.

That sounds like the SwiftKey bug. You need to go to the play store and get the latest version.

Thanks Katherine; everything's up to date, I am a bit of an update obsessive

I can just see me getting in completely over my head over there, jeffers, but thanks for the idea.

No, I think you miss understood. I wasn't suggesting you submit a comment, just try typing in the comment box and see if you get the same problem. You said the problem was only happening on CC, but I believe it is caused by a change in chrome, and is not a cc problem.

Alternatively, you could try a different browser.

As with the @MossCommuter - stock Android keyboard ( except maybe on a Nexus phone, otherwise up to date).
