HELP WANTED

I already reinstalled everything keyboard- and maliit-server-related via pkcon --allow-reinstall install .... Also text prediction has been removed via store and reinstalled. Yes, multiple reboots inbetween. :wink:

Any ideas what could be the problem, or how to solve it or how to investigate further?

#2

Could it be missing/broken language files for the text prediction? Does it also occur in other languages?

#3

Hi and thanks for getting into this. It also happens with another language. I tried deactivating all but one keyboard. I also tried removing text prediction (via jolla store and yes, restarted) but it did not help.

#4

So … Nobody with any idea even how to debug in more detail? :frowning:
