Exclamation / Question mark (and other popup characters) not working
Con rispostaI'm using SwiftKey Beta (7.9.7.8), and recently none of the popup specifical characters appear. For the other keys I can still type the characters by holding them down, even though the pop-up never appears, but it doesn't work for the period key with 3 special characters- comma (which has anther button), exclamation point, and question mark.
When the problem first appeared it seemed intermittent, but right now it doesn't work at all. I've tried typing in multiple apps.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. Sorry for the trouble. Could you please help us with your device OS version? Could you kindly send a video file at https://aka.ms/sk-support so that we can investigate further? Thank you!
I'm having this issue too. Also, some words just aren't working, they won't even let me click them to fill them in. It's maddening as I've been using the beta for years. Same version. I've already answered a tweet asking for my system info.
I'm having the same issue. Android 12 on Pixel 6.
Same here, happened once yesterday and again today. Only way i tried yesterday was to reboot the phone.
it seems that only a part of the qwerty italian keyboard is working with long pressure.
eg i can type % over the q
^ over w
e is not working
r neither
t neither
y neither
uio not working
} over p
*
asd not working
* over f
g not working
+ over h
= over j
( over k
l not working
zxc not working
' over v
: over b
n not working
/ over m
. not working
in case someone else wants to try:
i tried to add another keyboard (greek in my case) and switching to greek it was working fine and also switching back to italian it get back working fine.
my 2 cents
Hello Dani Marzano, could you please let us know if you are experiencing this issue on the Market app also? you could please try and record a video of the issue happening, this would be great. You can download this free app called AZ screen recorder. This is helpful for us to see the issue and the devs when it comes to investigating.
Update: After I rebooted my phone, the problem went away.. For now. So this does appear to still be intermittent. When it happened, nothing short of a reboot seemed to help. I actually had to do a google search for 'question mark' and 'exclamation point' so I could copy & paste the characters when needed.
I'm using SwiftKey Beta version 7.9.7.8, and Android 11 running on a Galaxy S10e (with the latest updates). I also reported this via Twitter, but got no response there.
PS: I have a Pixel 6 and it runs on Android 12. Nova launcher added, if it helps.
