Keyboard's swipe to delete doesn't work intermittently

I'm talking about the feature where you can swipe to the left with a finger to delete a word.

Sometimes it simply doesn't work, for some reason. I don't know why, otherwise I would have told you about it now.

Yes, I do have Android apps sideloaded.

No, I don't know if it's been like this since I got the phone. I have only started using this feature in the last few days. I've noticed the problem yesterday, after I updated to 10.2.1.2941. I can't use it right now as I type.

Yes, I've tried restarting, but the feature sometimes fixes itself even without restarting, and it returns some time after restarting the phone

Any of you ever have this happened? How did you fix it?

I've found that if you press the backspace once it starts working again.

I never got it to work for my Z10 through all of the updates from 10.2.0 to 10.2.1.3175

Yeah. 10.2.1 problem for me. It's a 50/50 chance that if I hit backspace, it'll start working. Another 50/50 chance if I minimise the app and open it up again, it'll start working.

Ah, I should try that. I always just press and hold the backspace. I'll give it a try if the problem appears again

Yeh, this just started for me about a week ago. It has been working fine up until then. I haven't installed anything for a long time, and this issue just started happening, so I doubt it's some Android app issue. I have never had it happen on the Z10 I used to use, just the Z30. I'm on OS version 10.2.1.3175.

I tried just hitting the backspace button once, and it does not fix the issue. I tried restarting, and that seem to fix it for a brief period of time. But, as I started my 2nd email after the restart, it failed to work again. This doesn't seem to be happening to a lot of folks as I didn't find anything else other than this thread when searching in crackberry's archives.

Suggestions are welcome. :)

Update: Odd - I just saved my email draft, did a search and posted in this thread, then went back to the draft, and now it works.

Random thoughts: The phone felt warm when using it. I sat it down (right in front of the fan) to do the forum search, picked it up (as it's now cool), and now it works. Coincedence?

More Random thoughts: What type of screen protector (if any) are you folks using? I wonder if .. maybe .. hmm.. ? I'm using the Skinomi Techskin (I think I got that right).
