+1 on this, makes it very difficult to use the keyboard.

It looks like not everyone have this issue. I wonder what's causing this issue and what the solution could be?

I have this issue on a Huawei P10

It is still happening on my Huawei P20 Pro, running Android 9

I stopped using it years ago because of that.

I have the same issue, I changed the delay but still present

I confirm this happens on Huawei P20 Pro when I type fast. It's extremely annoying. Any tips on how to workaround?

I actually found the problem... This code in the file "AnySoftKeyboardSuggestions.java":

(Line: 556-560)

                int cursorPosition = newSelEnd - candidatesStart;
                if (mWord.setCursorPosition(cursorPosition)) {
                    Logger.d(
                            TAG, "onUpdateSelection: cursor moving inside the predicting word");
                }

When I comment that out... the keyboard works properly... I see no cursor jumping at all.
