Anyone else having SwiftKey issues with ResetEra?

[nib95]

I think since the update several days ago following the Dreamcast browser issue, SwiftKey prediction or general typing no longer works properly when I write posts in the little response boxes on ResetEra. Device is Note 8, Chrome browser, latest updates installed.

I've tried to replicate this issue on other forums, Google search bar, websites, even other apps too, but can't replicate it, these issues only prop up on ResetEra.

Without constant correction this is how the last paragraph looks.

Update.

Ok so I've found a temporary solution. All you have to do is click the little blank page icon top right of the response entry box, and this will turn it in to a standard text editor instead of a rich text editor. This gets rid of the issues, and if you need to add a quote, media, bold, italic etc, you can easily click "Use Rich Text Editor" to go back to the original text editor without losing any of your pre-written post!

You will however have to hit the blank page icon to switch to the standard text editor each time you enter a thread.

Update 2.

Scratch that, you totally can change it to use the plain text editor by default. It's under account preferences, just untick "Use rich text editor...". Nice.

So yeah, everyone having issues, do this ^

Edit: Seems Swiftkey is aware of this issue affecting multiple editors, including Disqus and XF's rich text editor.

Hi! #tech here. It seems that the most recent Chrome/Android update produced this typing bug. Currently all we can do is waiting for a fix from the Chromium project. Meanwhile, the following workarounds should help address the issue until a fix is available:

a. Downgrade to the previous version of Chrome/Android (63.0.3239.111, Released in Dec 2017). You can download the APK file here; note that you might need to uninstall current version of Chrome first.
b. Switch to BTE (Basic Text Editor). A button for switching is available at the top right of the quick reply area (the document icon). There is also an option in user preferences to use BTE by default.
c. Though we cannot say for sure that this bug would never occur to other keyboards, it seems that switching to keyboards other than SwiftKey may greatly alleviate the problem.
d. Other Android browsers not based on the Chromium project, such as Firefox, does not seem to be affected by the bug.

We will keep updating on this issue. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I have similar problem on desktop using Grammerly.

I can report I have been havhav a similar ississue w SwiftKey butbijust figuredfitf was the keybkeybobut I I guess igsitonly ResetEraR iIhabeI I this hissed wkthw

Yeah the rich text editor is routinely shitty on Android/Resetera with Swiftkey. Keeps fucking up words and adding random letters.

It might just be me but it has been a bit better since maintenance happened.

 

[Bold One]

Editing a post can be bothersome... the backspace always skips to the beginning of the words

Omg this happened to me on my desktop, but I thought I was doing something wrong!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Yep. ThisTid (this is) really annoying.

 

[Strangelove_77]

I don't know if this is the same thing but when I use Safari on my iPhone autocorrect acts weird. It'll correct a misspelled word into some weird ass shit, often into two or three separate words.
That doesn't happen anywhere I don't think.

 

[ThanksgivingDinner]

Yeah its been happening toto too.

Edit: to me too.

 

[Ravensmash]

I just had a weird autocorrect actually.

Didn't think anything of it until I saw this thread.

Spooky.

 

[Deleted member 12790]

Yeah, but then again I always seem to have problems with it, on many sites.

 

[takriel]

I thought my phone was fucked somehow, lol. Good to know this seems to be a general issue.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Mine was bad but it seems to have gotten better recently. I'm not using swift key though. I'm using another one of those popular ones.

 

[Deleted member 888]

Fleksy is working better than SwiftKey on mobile Chrome for me with Resetera. Just thought I'd at that for anyone who is still struggling with SwiftKey.

Pretty good alternative.

I can confirm that is happening to me also (S8+). It was so irritating that I even tried other keyboards but my mind/hands have Swiftkey to ingrained so I just switched back and I have been trying to endure, but has been pretty annoying.

 

[Zushin]

Yup me too. Glad I'm not the only one.

Just downloaded it. Pretty nice!

Edit: Oops double post. Sorry.

 

[Falchion]

Holy shit OP, you have the exact same device, browser, and keyboard but my autocorrect is working fine.

 

[faceless]

Yeah, it has been wonky for a bit now

 

[ZoSo006]

II was just pissed off trying to figure this out at well and was confused when gboard was giving me the samesproblem. I I Wonder what changed as this wasn't a problem a few days ago.

 

[staedtler]

Yes! I just uninstalled it last night.

Yeah it's quite a nice keyboard, lots of options. It's working fine for me on Resetera.

The auto correction isn't as good as Swiftkey, not much is, but I'll take it for now.

Hope an Admin can confirm if this is a forum software issue.

 

[nib95]

Seems a fair few people have the issue. Mostly anyone using any sort of predictive text software.

 

[AMAGON]

Unrelated but everytime I hit the space button on switftkeys, it would input the letter I

Any way to fix this?

 

[Deleted member 4247]

I don't use SwiftKey, but I'm having very similar issues with Gboard. Autocomplete/corrections often don't "take" properly, I'll get double words, random junk letters, etc. Era doing stuff to the text with JS that messes with what the keyboard is trying to do, I'd guess.

 

[Deleted member 888]

nib95 report your first post to see if it can catch staffs attention for some sort of comment. You won't be warned for reporting it lol.

 

[Nakenorm]

Thought it was really weird the way mymsentences came out.

 

[Auron Kale]

Using SwiftKey on my iPhone 8+ (and Safari) and not really having too many issues using it really.

 

[tgrfawcett]

I have been having a similar issue which may be this in which when I hit backspace or space my cursor freaks out and I have to spend more time fixing it than it would have taken to type the sentence in the first place.

 

[ailaeshiz]

Happened to my last night when I was browsing on Android. There's something goofy about this site.

[Speevy]

In this thread a bunch of people drinking too much coffee

 

[WillyTheBikeGuy]

I went back to Swype because of this. I actually like it better now.

 

[Nakenorm]

Coffe? AbsoluteAbsnoy

 

[Titik]

YeahY ItsI oretty bad

 

[nib95]

Ok, so I'm testing this out with the default Samsung Internet app, and low and behold, no such problems. Therefore I assume that this is an issue related to Chrome coupled auto predictive keyboards or input systems.

 

[neoak]

Yeah, it seems to be Chrome on Android.

 

[Jeff ChickenDig]

yep made a thread about this like 2 weeks ago. Feel like ive had this issue for at least a month. Main reason I don't post here that much anymore.

[Zen Hero]

Yeah, I have issues using the google keyboard in chrome on android. If I type a word incorrectly, and then select one of the autocomplete options to fix it, it doesn't work correctly much of the time.

 

[Puroresu_kid]

Yes it's annoying!!!

 

[Nightside]

I thought it was only me. Basically writes the fuck it wants. Even writing this few words is annoying..

 

[Deleted member 8118]

YeahY this has beenbbeen Budapest me.

FuckFthis. I cant even type on this

I've been usinn my laptop to browsebthis site

 

[Rizific]

I've been having problems with SwiftKey for a while now, even before getting my note 8 and the forming of this forum. Dunno what it is. But it seems like SwiftKey completely forgot all my information over the years and gets my predictions completely fucking wrong.

 

[mr lurtle]

Just saw this thread after cursing at my phone for the last 30 minutes. Good to know the issue lies here.

I have the same issue with the Samsung Browser and SwiftKey. It doesn't happen all the time but guaranteed when the first word I use has an apostrophe.

 

[PaulLFC]

Having the same issue. Chrome and SwiftKey. Hopefully this is something that can be looked into.

 

[stone616]

Yeah I had to switch keyboards because of it. It kept adding gibberish to my words.

 

[Deleted member 3058]

I've been having this problem with the Samsung and also Gboard keyboards. It's not just a SwiftKey problem.

 

[WesleyShark]

Yep spacebar doesn't seem to work that well, and predictive text is borked
