Why won't my Galaxy S7 let me type in email addresses on login pages?

[AC Question]

Why wont my galaxy S7 let me type in email addresses on login pages (Facebook, Yahoo mail etc) When I type the first letter it disappears when i type the second and so on.

Any time I try and enter an email address on a login page (Facebook, Yahoo mail etc) as soon as I start typing the email address it deletes overwrites the previous letter. So as soon as I type "j" followed by "e" the "j" disappears and is replaced with the "e", and so on . so I can only ever type one letter on the email box. The only way I have managed to get over this is to copy and paste the whole email address from another source such as Notes.
Is this a problem with the program or is it a problem with the phone (Galaxy S7).

I also have this problem. Just downloaded a new app and tried to log in but in the email section anything I type disappears. Happens with some older apps that ask me to log in. What is the remedy please?

Try SwiftKey Keyboard. It seems as if something is causing your keyboard to both auto-backspace after typing a letter, and also being in overwrite mode instead of insert mode.

I had the same issue with new phone overwriting it's self only on login pages. Turn's out when I selected my keyboard when installing my phone, I forgot to download and select uk English so my phone didn't know how to spell on login pages, but it work completely fine every where else on my phone so I presumed it was already selected. Instant easy fix finally.
