Prediction bar disappears
The prediction bar disappears all the time.
For example when going to the settings then back to entry in a text field.
Only way to get it back its to switch to another input method then back to swiftkey.
Will only consider buying this when fixed.
(Wow, typing text in those dynamic fields from a mobile certainly is painful! )213 votes -
auto-capitalized words
I am using a Galaxy Nexus, after using Jelly Bean, my swift key has certain words it defaults to that have capital letters. For example I type "page" in the middle of a sentence and it changes it to "Page". If I add an "s" it goes back to "pages". I long press on the word, it removes it. Go back in, it is back again. The word "site" does the same thing, changes to "Site". "web" to "Web".
I have uninstalled, then re-installed SK. I'm using the latest version from Google play. I've also completely did a device wipe…

Keeps adding letters to word predictions... Makes SwiftKey unusable because I can't even delete the mistake. Even delete key makes the prprp
Unusable at this time as word predictions are buggy.. Adds repeating letters to predictions and even the delete key causes problems... Can't delete the letters. Had no problems with beta. Love SwiftKey... But something is broken.

Physical keyboard alt and shift key issues.
When ever i press shift or the Alt key once it locked into shift/alt mode instead of just for the button pressed and than changing back. It also stays on if i press the shift/alt key once more.
It takes a few tries to be able to type normally but messes up again when shift/alt is used. And if backspace is pressed when the ALT is stuck it deletes everything that was typed.I have seen this issue on multiple phones with physical keyboards as reported in this area and this issue was not present before the last update.

Browser incompatible, cannot input any text suddenly
Dear DEV team,
I would like to report two bugs about SwiftKey and browser:

c. After several input box, suddenly, the text I typed never shows up. Then all following…51 votes -
backspace stuck deleted all text
Can't really repeat the problem, but I had written a long email and decided to remove the last sentence. I kept pushing the backspace, and when I let go the backspace kept deleting word by word until the entire email was deleted. In panic I pushed all kinds of buttons but it kept deleting. And when the email was deleted I could not type anything before it was deleted again.

Keyboard bugs out when I press "123" / Kyocera Zio
Hi! Bought this app for about a week ago and I love it. But I just got a little problem.. I'm using the Swedish QWERTY layout and when I press the button with "123" on it the keyboard disappears and I can't do anything. Have to restart my phone to use it again. Annoying as hell!
Any idea how to solve this? :)44 votes -

Capital letters when adding new word to the dictionary
Hello to everyone.
This issue is regarding handling Auto-capitalize feature with words, that has been added to the internal dictionary manually during Swiftkey keyboard usage.
So, when the word, that was added to the dictionary by user, it depends whether it was with capital first letter or not. When first letter was lowercase, then Swiftkey Keyboard handle it OK. But if first letter was Capital - then it will be predicted with first capital letter all the time, even in the middle of sentence.
In the fact, manually added words "Keyboard" and "keyboard" will be considered as different words (actually,…
