I have this issue too. LG3s (Android) using Swiftkey and only happens to me on mumsnet. I've not experienced it on any other forum. It stops me bothering to comment 90% of the time, it's just too much work. I don't want to stop using Swiftkey though because I like it and it works everywhere else for me.

I get the double words sometimes on SwiftKey. On the mobile site.

Milllii · 16/07/2015 13:19

What is swiftkey?

Kahlen · 16/07/2015 13:18

That's odd.

Kahlen · 16/07/2015 13:13

That's odd.

I don't get the problem on any other site either, just Mumsnet. I switched back to my old annoying keyboard because it was stopping me posting.

NotJustaPotforSoup · 21/06/2015 19:53

I pm'd Josh. Don't have this problem on any other site.

It's really annoying.

We've just checked back in with our Tech team to see if there are any possible solutions and they don't think the issue is at our end of things, unfortunately.

Has anyone been in contact with SwiftKey?

Have MNHQ or Josh from SwiftKey come to any conclusions regarding this?

Same here mobile, Galaxy s5 and using chrome.

Ironically I typed that no problem!

BertieBotts · 12/06/2015 17:25

Mobile site.

pocketsized · 12/06/2015 16:29

Me! Mobile site on a Sony Xperia. Drives me mad!

AlmaMartyr · 12/06/2015 16:27

Yes! Me too. LG G2 and Chrome. Using the mobile site. It's a nightmare to type anything, although is periodically OK (this post oddly enough has been fine).

Sorry, one more - is everyone using the mobile site or the app?

BeccaMumsnet · 12/06/2015 16:13

Hi everyone. We'll have a chat with Tech and see if there are any issues our end.

Can we just check that this is an issue on Android? Is anyone having trouble with iOS?

Thank you Josh for looking into things at your end!

BertieBotts · 12/06/2015 11:39

Swiftkey is the only app which can correct my drunk typing to a point that it appears totally sober Grin

For me it's only on mumsnet. If I open a text or email or app I can type fine.

On mumsnet it just goes haywire, duplicating words, autocorrecting actual words into nonsense, and even jumping backwards and forwards in the text and rewording what I've already typed (as demonstrated above)!

I've been having trouble with Swiftkey on a Hudl2 using chrome browser. (currently on PC so all ok)

Mainly start a word G A and press spacebar to autocomplete GAVE, but instead I get GAGAVE

Had to revert to default hudl keyboard which is dire.

Shame as I really like SK when it works

mupperoon · 11/06/2015 20:49

M8!

mupperoon · 11/06/2015 20:49

Yes, I have this problem on an HTC oneOne dammit amm

LumpySpacedPrincess · 11/06/2015 20:47

I get this too and I'm using a galaxy s tablet, really annoying.

I'm on Android and the problem has only really started since the latest software update. I'm on a Sony Xperia z3 compact if that makes any difference!
