Anysoftkeyboard: Repeated first letter after autocomplete select and backspace

[worg]

Steps to reproduce

1.Start typing a word, select from autocomplete then press space
2.press delete [backspace]

Expected behaviour

Should delete the space and leave the auto-suggest word intact

Actual behaviour

Reapeats the first letter of the autocompleted word and deletes the space

Android OS version:
8.0
Device manufacturer and model:
Xiaomi Mi A1
List of installed add-ons (like languages, or themes):
Spanish Language pack, Yochees Dark theme
V1.9.1735 release 4310

Autocomplete doesn't even matter. Just typing random letters, pressing space and then backspace makes the first letter appear again.

[passcheck]

Nevermind, it does matter in a way. If autocomplete is disabled the bug doesn't occure. As long as the word is underlined you can't press space and go back without doubling the first letter of the word.
But you don't have to actually use autocompleted words for the bug to occure.

This issue is independent on autocomplete. For me, if you type any combination of letters, then space and then delete - the first lettet is always doubled. Autocomplete is disabled.
This is a major issue which is a huge disadvantage of this keyboard.

[raniesantos]

I have the same problem.

If _Show suggestions_ is disabled it doesn't happen.

If enabled, it always happens regardless if the word was manually typed or inserted through the suggestions.

Here is a GIF for reference.

Same here. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Lineage 14.1

This annoy me to hell, how the fck can I turn this shit-ass doubling option off?! It's not just unlogical and no use but friggin make my life hell, makes typing anything much longer

[worg]

Please lets keep the talk respectful.
First things first: this is (obviously) not a feature, but a bug, so it
should be fixed, there's not an option (AFAIK) to disable it.
This is an open source project and so far I think is a one man's effort, so
please consider the amount of time/work required to triage and fix a bug
before coming to request a fix ASAP, if you're in a hurry you can fix it by
yourself the code is available.

We all understand how anoying could this particular bug can be (trust me, I
am the original reporter) but being kind or at least respectful doesn't
hurt.

You think a two months period counts as "hurry"? Because it's not for me. Also, no, it's really not obvious if it's an added option or another bug, because I didn't see any offical reply here that would clear it up and would say 'hey, this is it for now but I noticed and will look into this'.

I should have much clever and not to refresh the app, I don't even know what I thought, because this happens literally every time I dare to refresh.. I would buy an error-free version if I could, one where you don't have wait month to get a bug fixed, but there isn't one.

I'm very sorry about this issue you are experiencing.
I will need you help to triage the cause of this bug as I was unable to reproduce this bug on any of my devices.

A few questions:
Which OS version are you using?
Which manufacturer?
Is there any specific app that you see this behavior happening in?

Android 8
Mi A1
Any application

Android 7.0 Nougat

Its a bug in the keyboard so no matter which app I am in, the bug always occurs.

[karpadbugatone]

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A
Android 7.1.2
Happens in any app

The issue disappears if you disable "show suggestions".
Generally if you press space and then backspace, the first letter is always doubled.

[menny]

Can everyone verify that disabling "show suggestions" fixes the issue?

[menny]

Also, I'll need a few of you to send me your AnySoftKeyboard settings backup.
You can create a backup file by going to AnySoftKeyboard Settings app, click the options icon (top-right, three vertical dots icon) in the HELLO section. Then pick "Tweaks"
In the new screen (Tweaks) again press the options icon (top-right, three vertical dots icon) and pick "Backup".
Ensure you are only backing up the "App Settings". Attach here this file.
The file should not include any personal information about you. But you find that it is and change/remove anything, please let me know what you changed so I'll be aware.

Thank you all.

[Bendingrobot]

I can verify, that disabling "show suggestions" fixes the issue.
AnySoftKeyboardPrefs.zip

[worg]

Also confirm that disabling show suggestions fixes the issue.

Thanks.

@Bendingrobot thank you. I was able to reproduce this issue.
The cause is improper revert when "Space after candidate pick" (pref key 'insert_space_after_word_suggestion_selection')is disabled.

[NitroNils]

So you basically solved the issue and don't need my details too? I have the _autospace_ feature off .
Thanx for your efforts, be glad to help!

[menny]

I think I have the bug fixed. I will release an Alpha version to the Play Store very shortly.

[NitroNils]

Awesome !

[karpadbugatone]

Thanks!!
