Hi there is a big bug in the latest 3.40 for Android.
Repeatable.

So - when I answer an email, write a text

Than I want to edit fragment INSIDE the text I have written
I select this fragment and edit

Than I navigate to the end of the text I write and want to continue
BUT apparently when I write the text APPEARS in the place I was before - the place I was editing.

This is very annoying, please correct this.

This is maybe because there isn't used a standard text input. Do you do that in vertical or horizontal position? If in vertical, check the behaviour in horizontal one.

In horizontal once the keyboard pops up
we have Android txt input with normal behaviour.
But in this case keyboard covers almost whole screen, I wouldn't like to use it.

What is exactly your problem? We can't repeat this. Where you place cursor, there your typing goes.

Okay again:

I type the text. Let's say 5 sentences.
Than I want to edit a word or a fragment of what I've wtitten, inside of it.
So I select a fragment inside and edit.

THAN after I navigate to THE end of the thing I write.
And start to write BUT the text appears in the middle of the text, just where I was editing before. I navigate again to the end of the text but it writes again there, in the middle.
It happens in vertical mode.

Hi Guys,

I've got the same problem on my Android phone. It was in Android 3.5.. and 4.0. The bug still exists in PM 3.55.

When writing a text, then placing the cursor in the middle of the text (cursor blinks in the middle of the text) then typing, the new letters appear at the end of the text, where the cursor was before.

I think this is due to auto correction of words. When words are underlined by Android, this behavior is noticable.

Also the Android loupe is behaving strange or eaven doesn't appear, when placing the cursor somewhere in the text. Furthermore the text marking funktion of Android is behaving strange. I think it is a conflict because of PM's own text marking funktion which isn't needed on Android.

Thanks for your attention. Maybe there is a solution in the future.

Best regards
Rolf

I confirm that word correction is the source.
Another 'bug' is that when i switch application and come back with android ics/jb recent apps, i have to open and close a menu, to be able to type again text.
You were right for word completion guy ;-)
