The keyman app for Android behaves as expected in most apps, WhatsApp, PTLite, Messages, etc., but when I try to type in gmail with the Keyman app, the rota-based keyboard unexpectedly deletes characters previous to the current character.
Could you tell us what language of the keyboard which you are having this issue with? If it’s a published keyboard, could you drop a link here so we can test it out? Thanks!
We have isolated this to a bug in Chrome (which is used within Gmail app). We have a proposed workaround which we are working on implementing, and will be reporting the issue to the Chrome team (but it may take some time to be corrected there). See the issue link above for more gory details.
An update: Darcy has written a workaround for this bug in chrome on android and we are going through final tests to verify. Once it is stable, we will port the fix back to version 12.0 as well.
We have also reported the problem to the Chrome team and they are investigating solutions from their end.
If you are able to try your keyboard with the pre-release version 13.0.38, and let us know if it resolves the problem for you, that would be fantastic.
We will port this fix back to version 12 but want to make sure it is working correctly for you first.
Sorry for the confusion. I applied the fix the other way so it’s in Keyman 12.0.4208 stable
You’ll need to install the stable Keyman release from the Play Store. Not the 13.0 alpha.
There’s currently an issue with downloading the catalog in 13.0 alpha that I’m currently investigating…
