    Not sure - perhaps it's the editor being used?

    I did see some mentions of issues with Swype and some JavaScript based editors, but it seemed to be something from a while ago which is no longer a problem.

    Would be interested if you could try it on a different phone to see if it still causes problems.

    is anyone else having issues? dont have another phone to cjeck on just yet.

    another issue is that i cannot use the copy/paste text selection in the post dialogue box
    also when i have typed passed a certain amount of lines if i move the cursor to the top to fix something i cannot get it back to the bottom, it will only come down so far.

    im on a sg2, is it a phone issue.
    something similsr happened on the seek.com.au app typing and swyping and the re.com.au app. but works on others fine

    I was having issues typing on my phone here the other day and thought it was just my phone playing up. Maybe it wasn't?

    Phone was a HTC M8 (or was it Sony Z2 - can't remember what phone I was using).

    I'm having lots of issues, the autocomplete from the Swiftkey keyboard.

    When typing it sometimes doubles up the word, or totally messes up the post.

    The only way around it is at the end of the word I switch my keyboard to Chinese, then back to english and it then posts the word ok.

    @bob shovel are you still having performance problems when writing posts? I did upgrade the forum software last week with a new version which supposedly addressed some performance issues - but your problem sounds much more serious than the ones addressed by the update.

    Perhaps wait to see if anyone else is having similar issues, it may just be my phone. I can keep using the spanner gizmo.
    @Kinnon Bell were you having a similar issue?

    I think Kinnon's issues are different to yours - hers is a known problem for Sony Z2 phones and relates to word-doubling with autocorrect when using the Swiftkey keyboard.
