I've noticed this on different firmwares and in different apps, so I finally decided to reproduce it and report it as a bug
my phone is samsung galaxy s
0) position the phone vertically
1) open any app with textbox in it, let it be Messaging for example (go to new message and tap on text input)
2) type fruit (for example)
3) fruit should be underlined
4) press hardware back button
5) rotate the phone 90 degrees right, so that it switches to landscape mode
6) FruitFruit appears in the text box
this looks like a bug to me
text duplication caused my rotating device
Re: text duplication caused my rotating device
How is this not driving anyone else insane? This particular bug is terribly annoying and I hope a fix is in the works.
