This happens to me using v1.8.1333 from F-Droid, on LineageOS 14.1 using English QWERTY layout.

I'm really having issues reproducing this. Sometimes I can make it will happen and sometimes backspace will behave correctly. I'm still trying to figure this out, but I might need to push that to a later release.

I'm able to get very similar results with a build of master when using gesture typing. if I swipe in "this", It looks fine. if I hit any other letter say "d" then hit back space I get "tthis" with "this" underlined.

I think it may depend what app is running, for instance it happens to me with com.simplemobiletools.notes (v2.3.0 from F-Droid)

I think I found the issue, or at least, one of the issues. It's related to typing in apps that have a slow InputConnection implementation. It is not uncommon to see apps like that.

The fix will be available in the next ALPHA and BETA
