In the latest build of SwiftKey (4.0.0.106), we have made it so that there aren’t any special SwiftKey functions in Kingsoft Office. We’ve looked into this issue in great depth for you and unfortunately there is only so much that we can do on our end. This adjustment has been made so that SwiftKey users can at very least enter text without things going completely out of control.
Due to its nature as a keyboard, we work diligently at having SwiftKey be compatible with literally thousands of applications. Our advanced technology makes this an even more complex task than it is for other keyboards. We’ll continue to refine the SwiftKey experience whenever and wherever possible.

VNC Viewer: repeated characters
I use VNC Viewer by RealVNC on my Nexus 4. Prior to the "Flow" update, I could use they SwiftKey keyboard with no issues. However when I updated the app and tried to type in VNC Viewer, my keystrokes would repeat. For example, if i wanted to type "Hello" I would get "Hhehelhellhello" or something similar. If I hit backspace, the letters won't delete. This happens even if I disable flow. I have yet to contact RealVNC as I'm fairly sure the update is the cause of this.

Swiftkey keyboard not working on apps developed with Adobe Flashbuilder and the AIR SDK
An issue has been reported to us (Flexdomino.net/n-Mobility for Android) from a common customer.
Basically the Swiftkey software seems to have compatibility issues with apps that are developed with Adobe Flash Builder 4.5.1, running with the AIR SDK 2.7
I have installed Swiftkey on one of our devices (HTC Desire HD) and can confirm that Swiftkey produces a lot of funny effects, particular with the Back key.
Words are double instead of characters/words being removed or words cannot be deleted at all (depending on software settings).
I'm not certain if this is an AIR SDK issue or a Swiftkey issue.…

Google Hangouts: Execute in Landscape doesn't send.
I just upgraded to Google Hangouts, which replaces Google Talk. There is a bug in landscape typing mode. When you type and then click "execute", the message does not send. You have to "back" out of the keyboard and then click send. Portrait mode does not share this bug. I am a landscape typer due to large hands :)

Scrabble
Android Scrabble app, Dictionary feature. Try to type CAT, for example. _CAT appears. (The _ is always auto inserted before the intended text.) App recognizes the text as _CAT. Try to remove the _, and the entry becomes CACAT, and that's how the app recognizes it. This fault does not happen with other keyboards, so it is a Swiftkey problem. Same problem with Swiftkey X and Swiftkey X Tablet. Relatively new bug, perhaps since around first of March 2012.

Lag in Google Drive
I haven't had much lag aside from when editing a text document in Google drive. The default keyboard doesn't lag with it, so I'm thinking its not the app, but I can't figure out why SwiftKey would be doing it.
Symptoms are that I can type at a normal pace, but the keystrokes are registered only about once a second, so after typing a sentence at regular speed I have to wait as the letters appear one at a time and catch up with me.
I'd really like this fixed, it's a pain to switch keyboards every time I want…
