My current version of Samsung Keyboard  app on my Samsung phone: 3.3.21.22

 

It is easiest for me to describe this issue using a real example, so here we go:

 

When I am typing using the Samsung Keyboard app, for example I was typing:

"Hello! Hope you're magic show"

and then realised I wrote the wrong your/you're, so I moved the cursor to edit it. I deleted the 're and retyped the r but then The Glitch (yes, it deserves the capitals) happened and this is what shows up:

"Hello! Hope ymagyouricshow" with the cursor waiting there at the end, after the the w.

 

The Glitch has moved the word into the middle of another word, removed the spaces and added a duplicate of the first letter of the word I was editing to the start of the new composite word and moved the cursor to the end. Makes it a bit difficult to communicate.

 

The Glitch happens to me often, I have been putting up with it for... years. Thought it was a bug that would be fixed.

Has anyone else experienced The Glitch? Why is this happening? How can I stop it from happening?

 

Thank-you for reading!

It's because it's a piece of garbage. Reference source: first-hand experience.

Hmm, yeah, sorry, but it is. The crummy thing doesn't even have an audio jack I found out after buying it, so I guess I can forget listening to any music at work.
