I post on Android Chrome with a SwiftKey keyboard. Every so often, quite frequently really, something goes wrong.

I type the partial text (e.g. 'predi'), I click on the suggestion (e.g.' predictive') and what ends up in the box is both together (e.g. 'predipredictive' )

I'm pretty sure this only happens here, but it isn't constantly reproducible. Once it starts happening it happens constantly on that page. It's like something is handling each key press rather than leaving it to the ordinary browser text box handler.

I also had/have issues reported before where no input is recognised, i.e. typing does nothing. That happened on PC Firefox too, but obviously I don't experience this on there due to lack of predictive keyboard.

Anyone else?

The input box is obscured for me on every mobile device and browser I've used. It's all guesswork as I can't see.
I have that too, after entering a few paragraphs. Pressing Preview usually fixes it.
