That would explain why it's gone so long unnoticed - was driving me nutty. Can confirm that "Spell Checking" and "Word Suggestions" cause this behavior, however I've been unable to reproduce with "Auto correction" turned on only. Thanks for the work around!

Am currently running devel-proposed 223 on mako. Have tested this in multiple apps, including the default Notes, Quick Memo, Touchwriter - all have the same issue. Typing and deletion work fine initally, until I create an empty line - see below for an example: ------------Example------------------- Here I'm typing a usual line... about to make a space Here I'm typing after the space, etc. -----------End Example-------------- When I go back to edit the first line, as soon as I delete characters at the end of the line, the line below jumps up, and deletes a number of those characters. See below for the example: ------------Example------------------- Here I'm typing a usual line... about to make ae I'm typing after the space, etc. -----------End Example-------------- This makes storing notes on the device, and any editing with the keyboard, extremely difficult. I notice this only seems to happen when there is whitespace in between lines - otherwise keyboard is fine. I'm filing this report as a keyboard bug, as it's the only linking thread I can see between these programs.
