@MicroBeast Which are dupes of #4208

I tried to write a comment on GitHub yesterday and ultimately gave up and went to my laptop. So annoying.

All 7 comments

Letters intertwine

Probably dupe of https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/16105 which seem dupe or related to https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/15855

I have same issue but where I should put mine? (Or with OP). I'll put mine here momentarly.


Same issue on me since few latest Nightlies and I'm using EN for input. Typing in Message/Info Box become hard. On me, happen on Reddit most of the time.

  • Firefox Mobile Nightly 201021 05:03 (Firefox-CI). Currently.
  • Samsung SM-T555.
  • Xiaomi Redmi 4A.
  • Keyboard Multiling O Keyboard (GPlay version).
  • Keyboard Hacker's Keyboard (F-Droid version).
  • Keyboard Samsung Built-in one. The Xiaomi come with GBoard that I disabled, so never used.

On side note. Firefox Mobile always give same issue for me since long time (before Fenix). Usually, the work around for me just to disable Keyboard Dictionary-Suggestion, but this time that didn't help. Need to literally use a text editor then copy-paste as current work around.

Please provide the build information for the build you are using. If it is nightly then this sounds like a dupe of #16105. #4208 is likely unrelated as 16105 is a recent nightly only regression.

@kbrosnan I've had text input problems in Fenix for over two years and I've used both stable and nightly...

I just encountered the same problem on https://help.aftership.com/hc/en-us/requests/new: trying to input text is nearly impossible.

System info:

  • Samsung S8 SM-G950F running Android 9
  • Fenix Nightly 201101 17:02 (Build #2015773131)

I just tried to reproduce the issue to share a clip but I couldn't so it seems that the issue is not systematic.

Typing comments on Twitter and Facebook is borderline impossible.

83.0.0-beta.2 (Build #2015772179)
