I've had enough of the text editing issue, where when you press backspace it highlights the space before the word and ends up deleting it. The developer passes off responsibility for this to the engine they use and seems to have no intention of addressing it.

What are the pros and cons of the other Android apps? I'm only considering ones on F-Droid, not the Play Store, so that rules out Summit and Boost. Ones I have available are:

  • Thunder (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Interstellar (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Voyager
  • Eternity
  • muffed (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Combustible

Yeah others are saying it's to do with the keyboard, or rather that other keyboards seem to get around the bug. However it's only Jerboa that I have this issue with.

I'm using the standard Android Keyboard (AOSP), so it's not something you would expect to have errors. Don't really want to change as I'm used to it and have it set up for different nationalities (Greek for maths, couple other countries for their funky accented letters).

Once you try swiping to type, you never want to go back. And OpenBoard has Greek letters of course. Honestly, give it a spin - regardless of your problem with Jerboa: I bet you'll love it. Worst case, you'll have wasted 10 minutes installing it, trying it out without success and uninstalling it 🙂
