This has happened in Chrome browser. It may have happened elsewhere. What happens is, sometimes when I start typing ...say in XDA, or even Facebook, NOTHING types. The cursor will be blinking, ready to type...but ...nothing gets typed. The keys are popping up on the keyboard as my finger touches them, but the cursor never moves and nothing comes out on the text box.
Here's the weird part....numbers and symbols will type fine. Also if I press space bar 2 times, it will type ONE letter after that...and repeat. I figured out that when this happens, the only way to fix it is to turn the screen off and then back on again.
What the heck is this thing doing?
In the photo, note text typed that shows up in word prediction box..but no actual text in field. (Nevermind what I typed ?) ...this is what it keeps doing at random.
I cannot be the only one with this issue.

I keep hitting something when im typing on the keyboard that acts like a permanent shift
one minute im typing letters, and then suddenly it switches over so that all the "blue" characters and typing in.
for instance the numbers, the [email protected]#% and so on
I cant figure out how to switch it back so have to softreset
anyone know what i keep hitting?
close this thread, found it
its double tapping the blue circle on the keyboard
driving me crazy!
read http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39097 or search for other posts similar to have a display of caps/number & symbol shifting
EDIT: post same as Beeble's , didn't followed his link
On my Epic, running QuantumRom 2.7, Swype seems to be missing certain letters at different times. Just now, I tried to type "I'm" by swiping from I to M on the keyboard, but Swype is not catching the I, and will only highlight J or K, forcing a weird word like "Km"
Also, sometimes I will be swiping for another word, and it will assume I did a short press to insert a letter, then start recognizing swiping. Example: Swiping "Hello" may insert "H elli"
Anyone else hit these issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks.
Yeah, mine started doing that the other day. Almost like the screen isn't picking up my movements any longer.

yea mines been doing this for a little, and sometimes after i pick a word, it puts it in caps lock by itself
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I had the same issue last night trying to swipe "copy".
I would hit C, feel the phone recognize the press with the haptic feedback, but right when I went to swipe away to O, Swype put the C, then pick up other characters.
Anyone know of a fix? It seems intermitted but when it happens it is very frustrating.
First let me tell you that this has been going on for a long time. I first had trouble on latest stock ROM. I factory reset it and still had problems. So I just now switched to Paranoid Android because I thought it was my ROM that was broken since it happens on all browsers except for Chrome. It still is happening in the default browser that came with Paranoid Android.
Here is what is happening.
I go to any page on the web that has a multi-line text box. I try to start one with text already in it, like by quoting somebody on a forum. I start by highlighting a word and copying it. Then if there's text in the box I place the cursor between any two letters. Then I click the handle/cursor until paste comes up, and right after I do, the cursor will move somewhere like in the middle of the next line or lower. This happens even before i hit paste. If I use the copy command like in thumb keyboard by assigning paste to a function key, sometimes it overwrites text to the left or right of the cursor. This stuff happens with any keyboard including stock android keyboard. Sometimes I'll be typing text and then backspace stops working. Sometimes when that happens I have to click with my finger somewhere if I want to change something. But sometime that doesn't even work. Sometimes I will paste text at the bottom of the quoted text and the text will magically somehow be pasted at the top. This happens often. This only happens in browsers. I've tried stock, boat browser, dolphin. It happens in all of them. This is all repeatable for the most part. I'm at my wits end. Does anyone know what I can try? Is my nexus 10 broken? It seems like a software issue, but I don't know how since I've wiped everything and started over.
Any help appreciated. Anyone who can fix this I'll buy a beer.

I'm noticing that at times when I'm texting with the stock swype keyboard, it will input like 10 letters for every 1 that I type in.
It seems to happen when it's near any other device like a computer.
Weird.
Anyone have this? Any fix?
I notice that when I kill the messaging app and restart it, it's fine. But such a hassle.
I'm having issues every so often, where if swiping the keyboard registers about 5 different letters randomly in the path I swipe. There is definitely something up with it. I have hard reset once. It's very random, but not just typing, sometimes when surfing reddit or Google news, swiping up or down, it starts to freak out and click on links as I scroll, aggravating as...

So randomly, but only a couple of times a day or every other day, ims.services stops working, also everytime I try to place a phone call, ims.services stops working, and the call automatically ends and goes to the screen right after a call that has the call back button on the left, view contact up above, the text message button on the right and video call in the center. If I click on the call back button then the call will go through. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for solving that issue?
The second issue, the keyboard one is as follows. I use SwiftKey 3,and ONLY when I'm typing in Chrome, the text prediction will not show an entire word, it only shows the letter I had just typed, and at the end of every word when I press the space bar (pressing the space bar automatically selects the center word prediction) it will add a second of the same letter to the end. For example, the word, "world" would be, "worldd". Now this ONLY occurs when I'm using Chrome. Does anyone have any solutions, or suggestions for this one as well?
Thank you everyone ahead of time, you all are awesome and always so extremely helpful.

You did not say whether you are rooted or unrootted, and if the latter if you are on a custom ROM (assuming you are not).
If you are on stock OEM and have not updated it recently, that would fix it - as it overwrites the entire ROM and would clear this up. Whichever firmware/ROM version you are on, you could ODIN the AP module and that would also write over your problem.
As for Chrome - I don't use it.
