Actually, this problem is why I stopped using Jerboa. It's really weird. Of course, like an asshole, I never bothered to ask about it ornfile a bug report, because I'm a bad person.

I use Eternity now, and I like it a lot.

Yeah, it happens with OpenBoard.

You can bypass it by moving your cursor anywhere by means of the space key (hold and move)

I've been meaning to post about a similar issue, where when I backspace, it removes the space between the previous 2 words, so I have to backspace more, and sometimes it happens again. So this makes me have to start moving the cursor around myself to fix things. Very annoying.

I think the problem relies on your keyboard app.

I believe this is an issue with both openboard and the aosp keyboard (with jerboa specifically), here lemme find the repo for the open board fork thats still getting development

Edit: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard this fork is under active development. It can be installed via the apks on github or through obtainium. If there isn't one already it would be helpful to submit a bug report for the issue you're experiencing. It might be good to open a bug report with jerboa too

I have a similar issue. Jerboa overrides the default behaviour on my phone for double-tapping a word in a text entry box. In most other apps, double-tapping a word causes the whole word to be selected, similar to double-clicking in a PC word processor. In Jerboa, this behaviour is broken, and it simply jumps my cursor to the spot I double-tapped.

Yup, and also for some reason I can't reliably paste text (on long press, sometimes the menu option is there and sometimes it isn't?)

Highlighting text is also a pain and for some reason, it autocorrects words that I type in manually. Very annoying.

I have not experienced this, but I also have the default keyboard for my phone.

I never had that issue. Are you sure it's only a Jerboa thing?

I had the same problem and posted here about it some time ago. There was a little discussion, but no solutions forthcoming.

Happens to me on a couple of other apps like Tinfoil or on some web pages in Firefox. (LineageOS with AOSP keyboard here, too.)

I got frustrated and moved over to the Voyager standalone app full time.

Yes, it's very annoying, I experience it too
