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.

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.
