Lots of Text - Input Window Glitch

[cyril]

Handcent is not the only responsible The code to support suggestions for hard keyboard was quite intrusive, and I broke some things in v1.2.1
I hope everything is back to normal in v1.2.2 which I just released

i have this app too! but im having this problem still with the app uninstalled. is there a way to remove this app interaction?

[cyril]

Well, if you have this problem in another app (which one by the way?) I don't know what I can tell... I never experienced such problems (except when using Smart Keyboard v1.2.1 but there were bugs in this version) and don't know how to reproduce them (neither on my phone nor in the emulator)

I am still having the freezing problem in 1.2.2 -- is this the issue you guys are talking about that is supposed to be resolved? I see it in the stock sms app, Talk, Touchdown, and the browser -- anywhere that I use the keyboard. It happens to me every 10 minutes or so of constant use, e.g. chatting with a friend or composing an email.

That's quite disappointing for me, I keep trying to reproduce this problem, everyday, and never had it...
So either you all do something which I never do with my keyboard (I don't know what it could be...), or you all have a bug in the android framework which I don't have in my custom 2.1 ROM..
The only thing I can tell is that it used to happen to me at the very beginning of this project, when I had a different ROM (but still 2.1) and it never happened to me again since I upgraded to a more recent ROM. So I can only guess what happens to you, and at the moment I cannot guess (I already tried some things but it seems it doesn't solve the problem so far)

Thanks, Cyril. FYI I am not running any custom ROM, my Nexus One is stock 2.1.

I have this problem too. I only really type in SMS. Doesn't even need to be a lot of text. I've seen it in both landsape and portriate mode. The only way I've been able once to fix it once it starts is switching back to the default keyboard. It usually happens after about 10 minutes of use, sometimes more sometimes less. Basically I can type, and anything I type appears after I press "send" but the preview of the text never shows up. Even the "autosuggest" still works. Just no preview.

Using: Motorola Droid,
Firmware: 2.0.1
Kernel version 2.6.29-omap1-g0dd7e0b android-build@apa26 #511
Build number: ESD56

If there's anything I can do to help you track this down I will do what I can. I love the keyboard, but I have to keep switching back to the default

@all: Can you install the "Log collector" app and send me your logs by email (android@cdeguet.net) just after this problem happens ?
It may help me to understand

Thanks

Thanks !
The dictionary was the last place I would have thought about to explain this!
(Quite funny it crashes in the only part of the app which is written in C++ )
So I'll have a look at this part and try to understand why it happens
