Anyone else having problems with swype beta on their GS3? I frequently have issues where the cursor disappears and the words I type don't show up in the text box. If I go to the home screen and then reopen the app I'm using the words will be there. It's pretty annoying.
I used to use the swype that came on my old droid x and never had this problem. Also, selecting words to retype is a pain with this new version if none of the suggested words are ones you want. Old swype you could press the swype key to highlight the whole word easily and just retype it, or long press the backspace would delete the whole word. This one deletes letter by letter and you have to carefully place the cursor at the end of the word. Am I missing an easy editing trick here?
Note: just found this over at the swype forums http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?6584-How-to-highlight-a-word-in-1-0-3
It appears that if you let the blue cursor fade out then hitting the swype key does select the word, but that takes forever.
