Tell them to switch off the rich text editor in their preferences.

Hi @Chris D most of my members are senior citizens I doubt they’ll want to learn BB code. . Is xF2 affected by this Chrome bug?

 

[Chris D]

Not really much we can do about that. That's the workaround, it's either that or it be (apparently) very broken.

XF2 is not affected, no.

Can I suggest that you all star the linked issue ( https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=806309 )? You will get spam every time anyone replies, however it potentially draws attention to the issue.

FYI I also had this issue today in a SurveyMonkey free text field.

I tried Chrome Beta and Chrome Dev and it still happens on both at the time of writing.

Hello

Same here.
Typing a word, pressing space and chrome puts the first letter of the written word as space. Pressing space again, and I have my space.

Best regards

The admin on a Xenforo forum I use suggested I post on here, got users having similar problems:

Gboard and SwiftKey having problems just on Xenforo forums. For me it commonly happens when a suggestion on the app comes up above the keyboard but it won't replace the gibberish on screen no matter how many times you tap it.

Several users having the same problem

I'm on Chrome for Android Beta 65.0.3325.85 as well as Swiftkey Beta 6.7.8.24 and the problem seems to have disappeared.

 

[Meisterschnorrer]

Still have these problems....

 

[Ozzy47]

Still have these problems....

You will continue to have these problems until the browser bug is fixed, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=806309

There are reports that this is fixed with SwiftKey v6.7.8.25 which was released on 1st March. Can anyone confirm?

I presume it will still exist in GBoard which hasn't been updated yet.

Gboard and SwiftKey having problems just on Xenforo forums.

Not only xenforo, I manage a couple of elkarte forums (smf fork) which uses SCEditor and I am having the same problems.

There are reports that this is fixed with SwiftKey v6.7.8.25 which was released on 1st March. Can anyone confirm?

I just did some quick tests and seems to work fine now

 

[Chris D]

GBoard was recently updated, did they solve this issue in that release?

Just got the GBoard update. The issue is still present.

Looks like the issue was closed despite it still occurring with the latest Android Chrome and Gboard keyboard.

 

[Sal Collaziano]

Just noting that my users, and myself, are also experiencing this issue...

 

[Mendalla]

Okay, glad to see it isn't just me. I've been running into this for a while on my own phone (Android 7, GBoard) but haven't really heard from many users about it (though a lot of my users are on PCs or Apple devices). Thread watched.

 

[Azaly]

Our users have this issue too. Android 7.

 

[Wildcat Media]

I thought it was my phone going bonkers...so at least I know what to tell users now if they have issues.
