Text entry deleting previous word

[dr_demento]

Hi everyone.

I've searched the forum for a while but I can't find any mention of this problem, so...

When I'm typing in text (in my Niki, but should apply to all Touch Keyboard-using devices) using non-XT9 mode and the Touch Keyboard, the word I'm typing is automatically selected as I type. This means that when I hit space at the end of the word, the whole word is replaced with a space. Kinda useless, huh.

I've dug through the input options and none of them appear to fix this issue. Why does the phone do this and is there any way to stop it?

I have the same problem while writing on the screen. The solution is typing slower (at least remember to wait a few miliseconds before pressing "space" key). and voilá!

I got fed of it and started typing with the physical keyboard with xt9 on
