When submitting a post, the post field messes with SwiftKey's autocorrect and predictive typing. This isn't a bug with SwiftKey as it only happens with GBATemp's post submission field. I have to type really slow for it to not happen. Here's an example:

SwiftKey is free, so anyone can test this. The Chrome build is 64.0.3282.123.

Edit: The fix has been pushed to the stable build. Update now.

It definitely has something to do with auto-completion, punctuation, and spacing (with SwiftKey specifically since it auto-completes after these).
Yepp! The thing is, if you wait a little bit and then press the correct word. It will work most of the times. It's very strange but as I say. I think the quick reply gets picked up either by the browser or swiftkey that it acts like a password field. That would explain the problems with autocorrecting words, since not all passwords are correctly spelled etc.

I use SwiftKey Beta with Via Browser normally (which uses Chrome's webview and works fine on here). Im now using SwiftKey Beta and latest Chrome to test and it works perfectly fine. Ive never had the described issue with anything.
I'm using a Huawei Y6 2017 on its stock rom which is EMUI 4.1 on Android 6.0.

This is great information. It narrows it down to SwiftKey. The beta works just fine. Though this also implies that other keyboards (including SwiftKey) don't conform to browser standards.

I'm also experiencing issues with predictions with SwiftKey and Chrome now. Sometimes the space key doesn't work properly either.

I've had this happen before to me as well with stock Samsung web browser and keyboard. Was weird indeed.

I'd like to report that this issue has been fixed in SwiftKey stable. Everyone using it should update. The thread can also be closed.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I may probably download fallout 3 or new vegas on my ps3
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    cuz I didnt like fallout 1 that much
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    New Vegas is awesome, F3 was ok too.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I played Fallout 4 on PC, I enjoyed it honestly. Not my favorite game on earth but at the same time I didn't hate it at all lol

    Or worse, you downloading something, and someone calls your phone and interupts the download, good ole AOL. Of course that's before most you guys even were born yet.
