same issue here. as you can tell by lack of capitalization.
One thing I've noticed is, if I quick switch to another app and open the keyboard, it resolves the issue in Voyager.
Environment details:
Pixel 7
GrapheneOS
HeliBoard keyboard
Voyager installed from F-Droid
identical environment.
if I tap out words, then they will appear as i hit each letter. if i use swipe, then i get no preview of the word, the word just appears after i lift off and touch another key.
very annoying, cant live without gesture/swipe typing.
What device do you have? Do you have Android Vanilla / Android from the manufacturer, or do you have a Custom Rom? Sorry for the stupid question, but you only mentioned two keyboard apps. Have you tried other keyboard apps, for example Fossify Keyboard? Where did you get Lemmy from (Google Play, GitHub, F-Droid)?
Pixel 7A running GrapheneOS. While there are other keyboard apps there that are Foss, none of them have worked out for me so far. I write in two different languages and don't want to switch between different layouts and such. So instead I have disabled Network access for these keyboard apps.
Based on other comments this seems to be an issue with all(?) keyboard apps.
Maybe it's because of GraphenOS? I tested it on Android 13 Vanilla (Nokia X1) with Voyager 2.17.1 (F-Droid) and Swiftkey 9.10.44.22 and it works. Are you also using version 2.17.1? Did it work with 2.17.0?
It wasn't an issue before, only started a few weeks ago.
Ok, that's really strange. The others seem to have the same problem with different solutions, which doesn't work for everyone. That's why I would suggest opening a new issue on GitHub. And post the link below your post so that others can contribute.
Yeah I will do that, just wanted to chip in here first to see if it was just a me issue hehe.
If you put a leading space at the start of your comment, it will bypass the bug
hmm doesn't seem to work for me.
Only thing that works is to manually re-select the keyboard among my keyboard selection/input method.
This has been driving me crazy.
I'm using a Pixel with GrapheneOS and the FUTO Keyboard.
Slight workaround for everyone on Android: Click the keyboard selector at the bottom right of your screen and just select the already active keyboard. This will temporarily fix it until you start to type up a different comment.
Sorry to spoil the party but this comment was typed on Microsoft swift key 9.10.44.22, Huawei p20 pro, Voyager 2.17.1, emui 12.0.0
No bother with swipes (don't usually use them), backspace, predictive text - though word suggestions only appear when I stop the swipe.
Eta: Voyager is from Play Store.
