Bug report: Backspace behavior when writing comments

whatever@lemmy.world to Jerboa@lemmy.ml – 38 points –

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.

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.

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.
