Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Comment text boxes don't behave correctly? (lemmy.ml)

When I am making a post or a comment through jerboa, I am having a weird issue where if I backspace/delete, the text of the word I'm writing will combine with the word before it.

As an example, if I type

The quick brown foz

And I backspace to fix the typo, I get this

The quick brownfo

If I keep backspacing to fix the problem, it keeps combining words like this

Thequickbrown

It's very annoying and sometimes I have to delete entire sentences and start over. Also, if I have a wall of text and click somewhere in the text to make an edit, sometimes it will keep typing where I was before. Also annoying.

Does anybody else have this issue? It could be a product of my keyboard, which is Open Board from F-Droid. But I usually only have issues like this when trying to type my information into websites that aren't designed for mobile. (Fennec, if it matters.)

I have been having this same issue using the default grapheneos keyboard.

So, I am now testing with Google's Gboard, and the problem doesn't seem to be happening anymore. Still annoying for users of open board, which there may be a few of. Jerboa is the only app giving me this issue. Slide and Mastodon didn't have this problem. Thanks for listening to my rant.

I tried it with SwiftKey and can't reproduce this problem.

I do have the problem using Gboard
