REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
BUILD ID: 4.0.1.45
HARDWARE: Sony XA2
UI LANGUAGE: German
REGRESSION: Unclear
DESCRIPTION:
Jumping within a text input field is impossible
PRECONDITIONS:
Open a textfield in a android browser (like Firefox for Android). For example by opening the “reply” dialog in this forum
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Type in a few words an start jumping to different text sections
The cursor will alway mark the chosen text position
Type in new words - they will appear in that place where you last wrote (not where you marked)
EXPECTED RESULT:
You should be able to jumo in diefferent text sections and carry on writing there!
ACTUAL RESULT:
The typed word appear in former place
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Bad work around: You can close the SFOF keybord an restart it again every time this issue appears. Then it will work for short while before it comes up again.
I have noticed a lot of replies lately about internal bug tickets having being created. I would like to say thanks to @jiit for the level of communication!
In the meantime, I have a workaround: install a keyboard for Android from, say, F-Droid! I’m using Gboard with Aurora Store at the moment, and it works like a charm! (Plus I can finally use swiping to input text! I really wish Jolla would implement it officially, as onboard doesn’t work with Finnish nor XA2 Ultra…)
You can train okboard to “learn” Finnish, with a textfile with a list of words and a textfile (corpusfile) with some texts so it can learn which word will probably follow after which word. You find the instructions in the readme of the source code repository
