Bug Description
Frustrating bug that has been around since I started dogfooding ubuntu on my nexus 4 - somwhere around the 180 image mark. 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:
-------
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:
-------
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.
