  1. Flow and predication sometimes not working

    Device: Oppo Find 5 (x909)
    Android version: 4.1.1
    Swiftkey Version: 4.0.1.128
    Apps: Whatsapp, Chrome, Kingsoft writer, Message, Play store. Just everyhing where you have to type.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The issue:

    Somethimes Flow and Predication doesn't work, you can still type in the normal way; without both of them, but that isn't the way I want to use Swiftkey.

    I've also installed a other keyboard 'Swype', it is almost the same, but they don't have this kind of issues. Please fix it. I really love swiftkey, and preffer it above every other keyboard in the Play store.

      • Pandora: keyboard opens then immediately closes

        I cannot use the keyboard in Pandora to add a new station. The keyboard opens and then immediately closes.

              • Evernote: jumpy cursor

                When typing a note in Evernote the cursor doesn't move correctly. Words are overtyped, and backspace can repeat text instead of delete.

                    • Firefox: Auto-caps not working

                      When using Firefox, in any textarea field, auto-capitalisation at the start of each sentence does not seem to work. I have enabled the option in Settings. It however works fine in most other applications. What could be wrong?

                                      • Stupid autocorrect

                                        Everything I tried to spell a word, it autocorrects it, even if it's in the dictionary. This is getting annoying, and is ruining swift key. and every time I try to spell a word with double letters, it never does. It's like swift key hates them. What's up with that?

                                        • Evernote: Backspace inserts letters.

                                          Frequent problems with backspace; instead of deleting the last character or the whole word, it behaves unpredictably e.g. inserting letters. This is a carry-over from the Beta, i.e. not fixed. Now running 4.0 on a HTC One X.
