  1. *Jumpy Cursor*

    Cursor jump back randomly to second word of first line when writing letter by letter (not flowing) in many webs in chrome.
    It happens in the search cell in this page, for example.
    Is the same bug I reported to the two last betas. It's still here.
    In this cell it's just happening when I go back inside one of the previous paragraphs to add some words. Whenever I do this. Not when I'm writing at the end of document. That's better, but still not good.
    In the search box in this page happened always after reaching second word.

    • Reverts To Default Keyboard at Reboot

      After rebooting my tablet, default keyboard is set to the android keyboard. I have to set SwiftKey manually every time. I think this issue has something to do with when the internal sd is mounted after reboot, because SwiftKey save language packages in internal sd.

      • Conflicts with chrome omnibox autocomplete

        I find that SwiftKey conflicts with chrome's omnibox autocomplete. It happens when the omnibox autocomplete a URL and you begin to type a string that matches that url. For example, if I want to search for "google docs" in the omnibox, the following happens:

        *Begin to type "google"
        *Omnibox starts to auto complete with my Google Reader address "google.com/reader/view/#overview-page"
        *finish typing "google" followed by a space
        *SwiftKey predicts/corrects with "Google" and the following appears in the omnibox: "Google .com/reader/view/#overview-page" with the cursor between the space and period.
        * if I continue to type "docs" I get: "Google docs.com/reader/view/#overview-page"

        I expect…

          • When using a physical keyboard, swiftkey tablet doesn't auto correct or insert word prediction with space bar on nexus 10

            When I use a physical keyboard (i tried using two different bluetooth keyboards) the predictions auto capitation and even autocorrect don't work. I put the settings on and off and there is no change. I'm using the latest android version and the latest swiftkey tablet version.

            • Keyboard input (typing) is very slow in large documents (25 pages) created by OfficeSuite.

              Keyboard input won't keep up with "thumb typing" in large documents. Specifically, documents created in OfficeSuite Pro V7. Other keyboard apps do not have the same lag. Swype is okay, typing is slow. Problem is apparent on both a tablet and phone running two different versions of Android (4.2.2 and 4.04). Same problem existed with SwiftKey3.

                • Prediction doesn't work correctly

                  Downloaded the latest version of suddenly the prediction doesn't work as it should.
                  I keep pressing the upper left prediction because otherwise it doesn't make sense what I type.
                  Can't use the spacebar too, else it places a dot.
                  Serious bug. :-( Please fix. ASAP

                  • Backspace Bug

                    I am using SwiftKey for Tablets 3.1.0.377 and am getting the problem where if I press backspace it repeats the word instead of deleting. It only happens in some programs but enough to be a problem.

                        • Double language spellchecker

                          I usually write in two languages and when I do it using SwiftKey, all the words in English are underlined as misspelled. I've got two system dictionaries installed, and the word suggestions works well, but the red underlines on everything written in English are bad. I can switch to the android basic keyboard, and when I change my language the red lines go away, so I think the problem is in your app!

                            Almost every time I type a "long press symbol" and I start to digit the next word, the symbol is deleted.

                            • Faulty space in spreadsheet.

                              In data input SwiftKey put a space after a dot. "." automatically, which is no good.

                              Ex: I type "12.5",but SwiftKey put" 12. 5".

                              • Google Translate handwriting box broken by SwiftKey predictions

                                When using the handwriting recognition in Google's Translate app (NOT the keyboard), the character I just entered is always overwritten by the next one I try to enter. Happens with both regular and tablet, on both Nexus 4 and Nexus 10. Everything is on its current version. As soon as I switch to the standard Android keyboard everything works normally again.

                                  • xtralogic remote desktop

                                    When opening the keyboard in xtralogic remote desktop, the tablet version has now started trying to use word prediction. This makes using the keyboard in remote desktop impossible. This does not happen on the phone version and only recently started happening on the tablet version.

                                      Autospace is inserted after all punctuation (like ? or ! or ,) but not after using a period.as you can see here.this is inconsistent. Using Nexus 7. On my Galaxy S2 Swiftkey is installed as stock app and works as expected.

                                          Transformer Tablet TF700 running Jelly Bean with dock keyboard attached. On screen suggested word box will not disappear even when the cursor attention is pulled away from dialog boxes. Compatbility is needed here. Will not purchase until then. Full paid (phone) version works a treat on my Galaxy S3, so thanks!
