    Hi,

    I had this with my old phone and put up with it and thought maybe my new phone would sort the issue. I use Swiftkey and various browsers, but whenever typing a message I get random word insertions and/or the cursors moves back a word or two and I then end up typing before the last word I wrote out. It makes things a bit of a chore as I constantly have to check it's not gone a bit wonky.

    Anyone else have any issues?

    Me too, only on my phone though so I'm guessing it's something to do with predictive text...

    I'd offer to help...but I don't even understand the question.
    Would a new typewriter ribbon be of any use? :)

    Was an LG G3, now a HTC 10.

    Im on several other forums and can't reproduce the problem.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 so it's just about as old and ***** as it is possible for a Smart Phone to be. Internet usage on it was pathetic so I hardly ever bothered but a couple of weeks ago I downloaded Opera and it's like it's a new phone. I was reading the BBS on it the other day without an issue. No problems on the BBC either.
