It removes the last word of a sentence when an input box regains focus and you continue to type. No settings were changed so I guess it is a bug. Apart from the lack of customization abilities it is a decent keyboard app. I would like to remove emoticons EVERYWHERE. I want to type, nothing more. Furthermore the locations of symbols are somewhat counterintuitive.

I speak clearly and don't have a stutter, an accent, fast speech, and I clearly articulate my words. yet, using this app causes me to use up twice of the amount of time because I have to proofread everything, no matter the length. because if I don't, there are countless inaccuracies and words that don't even remotely sound similar to what I've said being printed. every year Google has progressively gotten worse and worse when it comes to voice to text dictation.

Keep coming back to Gboard. it's the best for me. Responsive, flexible, and stable. (2025 update): Gboard is now unusable in Gmail if your message is long. Keyboard overlaps text and you can't see what you are typing. I researched the issue, not alone. Changing system don't size *sometimes* fixes the issue, but it comes back. It affects multiple apps, including typing this update. Time to find a replacement.
