Problem with SwiftKey on the S3

[robrecht]

I've been using SwiftKey for a couple of years but now on my S3, using the cursor arrow keys (especially long presses on an arrow to repeat them quickly) frequently introduces errors into text that has already been typed, usually causing multiple repetition of the first or last letter of a word and deleting spaces between words. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix? I find that pressing the arrow keys very slowly usually works but I don't liked slow.

Not sure how widespread this problem is but a few others have reported it on the SwiftKey beta-tester forum.
