SwiftKey 3 bug with chrome?

**tacsniper** · 07-24-2012, 12:51 PM

Is anyone having issues with SwiftKey 3 with chrome? When I try to type in the Google Page search bar the keyboard types a bunch of random letters instead of what I want to search and backspace does not work either.

Just want to see if it's just my phone or if it's a known bug.

Yup, for the past few weeks, needs an update I guess

Yes same here...

Not just you, it's frustrating sometimes, glad I have Firefox for backup.

Happens to me to. Quickest way to fix it is to click the X to blank the box and start again. Works after that.

same here, i try to delete letters and it just starts going crazy with lalalalalalalala

Same for me.

I just use the stock browser. However I have Chrome installed...So when they fix it I may try it again.

Same for me.

Likewise on my Note.

I've had the same problem with Swype on Chrome. Not consistently...happened 2 or three times, though.

**timtobi1** · 08-14-2012, 03:48 PM

Yeah, happens in swype and Swiftkey for me (I use both). It's in the "Known Problems" section of the Swiftkey description though.

It seems that all third-party keyboards act weird in both Chrome and the stock browser. I always have to switch to the Samsung keyboard when using both... and the Roku app too. Same thing.

**will1881** · 08-14-2012, 04:55 PM

same here, but no characters being typed. Just the cursor moving crazy around

**Tkbredx** · 08-14-2012, 05:46 PM

Yeah it's a chrome problem not a keyboard one. I use Swype. When ever it happens I just start over. No big deal

Yep, I have this same problem. It's really annoying, thinking about switching back to Dolphin. :-(

**cognac_sipper** · 08-14-2012, 11:59 PM

Same issue... Kind of annoying. I'm just using original browser now

Same here with Swype.
But it doesn't act stupid in the stock browser

New update today with bug fixes, haven't had the issue yet today.

**DWR_31** · 08-15-2012, 01:05 PM

Bug is still being there in the Chrome Browser. Just did the update and still doing the same thing. Had to go back to stock because I missed using SwiftKey.
Come on Chrome, this really sucks not being able to use the best keyboard around.

Yup, same here.. I've had this issue for a while now.. Even with SwiftKey on my Droid Bionic (non tablet version) which was using Dolphin Browser. Just click on the bar you're typing in again and it'll work.

I doubt it's Chrome. I had this problem with Dolphin Browser HD on my Bionic. I'm thinking it's a SwiftKey issue. EDIT:WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPLY TO DWR_31

Yeah the bug sucks, but it doesn't render either Chrome or SwiftKey unusable.

If you Google search via the URL bar you won't get hiccups, same applies to the Google Toolbar widget.
