I've had the strangest problem, it happens on multiple browsers and phones. It only happens on forums when I'm using that forum (without Tapatalk). I type a post up, and sometimes it types the word twice. If I backspace, it goes back to the original word and erases it. Sometimes, after I erase it, I go to the end of the word, predictive text will automatically put the word in again.
Anyone experience this issue? I'm thinking it is my keyboard, I'm using SwiftKey. It drives me nuts. Multiple browsers, devices, and forums. I prefer SwiftKey overall other keyboards. I prefer SwiftKey.

I've had similar issues, but seemed to only occur when using a new input method or on reboot. I use swype and once I switched to the Evo swype apk, the problem stopped. Probably doesn't help your case, but I know you're not alone.
I know this may not really fix your problem but really just provide an alternative solution, you could use Swype. Swype is much faster (in my opinion), and you still have the option to type normally with it. You would have to download the beta from Swype's Website, it doesn't take too long to register for the beta.
I have had this problem too in the past. I'm just curious, do you use handcent? The only time I've really seen this happen for me is in handcent's popup windows, but I have no idea why it happens, and honestly, it doesn't happen often enough for me to want to try to figure it out. But I feel your pain, when it does happen, it's quite annoying :/
Happens to me all the time... I use Smart Keyboard Pro.
See my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132927
Wish I could figure this out. I type super fast and it's starting to get veryyy annoying.
Wow so does mine LOL I thought. I was crazy.

Ya i had major problems with this on the stock keyboard. I also had just general problems with lag sometimes in the stock messenger app, as well as receiving duplicates of text messages. I formatted the cache partition in cwr and used the gingerbread keyboard in the market and have since have had zero problems (so far lol).
Same Here!
I'm having similar issues. When I "wake" my TB up and try to go in to type a text message, email or any other thing that uses the keyboard, the keyboard shows up and allows me to type, but nothing shows up on the screen.
I've tried using the GB keyboard from the Market (which I REALLY like), but no matter what I try, I seem to have a problem. I thought it might be WidgetLocker interacting badly, but uninstalling that doesn't work. I thought it might be because I was using Go SMS Pro, but uninstalling that didn't work either. I went back to using the stock keyboard (which I really DON'T like), but to no avail. The only thing that DOES seem to work is to reboot the phone.
This is getting a little ridiculous! I don't want to have to reboot this phone every time the keyboard decides it doesn't want to work! Anyone have any advice?
Just FYI, I'm not rooted. I haven't gotten that far yet. The only thing I've done that isn't stock is to run Go Launcher as opposed to Sense. And this issue was happening when I was running Sense as well.
Anyone else having problems with Polaris office and ICS,
When creating or editing a document using the keyboard dock, or SwiftKey, it keeps putting in two letters and the back space doesn't work.
Is this a software issue or is there something wrong with my prime or am I just doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance

My keyboard dock works perfectly with Polaris Office. So does Swype, though it's not fully compatible with ICS yet. I don't have SwiftKey installed.
Thanks pdagal.
It's fine in sheet but in document it duplicates the first letter, eg if I type T and select The, it keeps the T I typed and adds The to it, giving TThe, very odd.

This sounds like a spell check feature or auto correct to me.
multiple users have reported issues with polaris and swiftkey. myself included. you're not alone

Ya, this is a bug with SwiftKey.... It was reported to SwiftKey as a bug several months ago (I think way back in June) as it was originally discovered on the TF101. So who knows when it is going to get fixed.
Thanks for the replies.
Further investigation has revealed that whilst the keyboard dock is connected swiftkey is still the default keyboard and changing to the Asus or Android keyboard fixes the issue for both the on screen keyboard and the dock.
If I want to continue to use swiftkey I have to remember to change the default each time I use Polaris and then change it back again afterwards. Pain , But at least I know the problem now.
I've been playing around with the voice recognition feature - writing texts, searching for people in my contacts, Google searches. I've found that it often randomly capitalizes letters. Sometimes its the same letter throughout, like every "T" or every "D". Anyone else see this?
I have the same issue.
Mine was doing the same with the letter "N".
Mine did this on the international version... To make it stop get a new keyboard from the market or take off auto-caps in the settings

Mines doing it too...
I'll try the auto-cap fix, I like the Samsung keyboard for now although I'm looking for one that includes cursor movement front/back arrows so maybe that will fix 2 problems with one app.
Edit: just tried that and it does fix the problem.
I can't explain it, nor give any scenario in which I would expect it to happen again, but fairly often (enough that I'm curious how many others are effected) as I'm typing and make an error, the delete key will delete entire words, phrases, lines, or intervals of, maybe, seven characters. This has been true with every firmware I've run, from out of the box stock ICS, to CM9, CM10, and now HB5.51(I think), as well as other keyboards, such as Swiftkey tablet X (and the new one), Swype, Hacker's Keyboard, and the stock ICS/JB keyboards, so I imagine this is an issue (forgive my lack of specific knowledge) with the software that receives input from the virtual keyboard. I do not yet own a keyboard dock, so I don't know if that would be affected. Anyone else see this? Is there a fix that I'm missing? Usually even the simplest issues are posted on here, but I haven't seen anything, so I'm kinda scared its just my issue. Thanks in advance!

I have run into a different issue with my Backspace key with the keyboard dock. Occasionally, while pressing the backspace key and deleting multiple characters it will stop functioning. In order to get it to work again I have to click on the screen in a different location and then back to the characters I am deleting it will work again.
I wonder if there is any correlation between the two.

Is anyone else having issues with Swype Beta in browsers where it won't auto space? I have used Dolphin, Chrome just don't seem to be working for me and the default internet browser won't auto space in text fields.
I think I have had that problem with Swype and browsers on my thunderbolt and galaxy nexus.
I haven't bothered with Swype yet on my DNA. The HTC keyboard is working quite well for me. I do wish that when I go back to correct a previous word, that the various "guesses" world show up again, the way Swype does.

I think it is a browser problem as most of the keyboards I have installed act strange in text input fields (like this one). I use messagease which has "backspace" and "delete" and delete does not always work. At present I am using the new Dolphin beta (very fast). Other strange things happen as well. If I try to move the cursor left or right it highlights text green!?
my auto space Swype seems to be working fine in Firefox and opera.
Does this happen in all text fields or just the address bar? It is supposed to not auto-space in the address bar to facilitate entering URLs
So yes it is all text fields and not the address bar. i did try Firefox and that seems to be working. First time using Firefox on Android and I actually like it. So may stick with that.
I've experienced the same issue with the default browser and it was really annoying. I installed Chrome and it seems to work wonderfully for me. The Swype issue went away and I love the syncing between desktop and phone browsers.
You can try SwiftKey Flow beta, it spaces in the stock browser fine. So does the stock htc keyboard with trace turned on.
This Swype bug has been present for a while, not sure it will be fixed
