Keyboard problem

[Alan43]

Hi

After the most recent update my Tab A has some issues with the third party bluetooth keyboard.

Specifically, at random intervals the space bar returns the cursor to the beginning of the word typed rather than advancing the cursor.

Switched to an old wireless keyboard, same issue. No problems at all if I skip the external keyboard and just use the pop up one

Anyone else have a similar problem?

Try wiping the cache partition: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28352

I have same problem, but cache wiping doesn't help.

My mobile is a samsung s7 with 6.0.1 Marshmellow Android.

I have also tried different external keboard and same problem.

My problem started when I upgraded my old s5 to 6 OS, then reproduced in s6 Edge and now also in my new S7.

My coworker have same problem with his galaxy tab E SM-T560.

Was there ever any resolution. I called samsung today and got nothing.

Was there ever any resolution. I called samsung today and got nothing.

I believe that it has something to do if spellcheck
recognizes the word. If it is not recognized, then it goes back to the start of that word.
Any help is appreciated before I get rid of this thing

Same problem. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 running 7.0. I have tried several bluetooth keyboards -- same result.

CLUE: The problem does not occur when I pair the keyboard with my Samsung Galaxy j7 smartphone running 7.0.

Any update on this? How do we make sure that this issue is fixed in the next android update.

If it can't be fixed, is there a wired keyboard for tablets tnat will work?
