Problem/Bug in text edition with Gboard

[ISA 0]

After some of the last updates a problem has been created. When putting the cursor just before any existing word and typing a letter or additional word, the subsequent word will be overwritten. Is that depending of some new feature that can be deactivated, or is it a really annoying bug? I have observed that this happens when working with Google keyboard (Gboard), and not, e.g., with Samsung keyboard. However the same problem is NOT happening when working with Gboard + OneNote or other text-editing tools.

Thanks for your help

Hi.  Not something I've noticed,  but I mainly use desktops to edit / create.  Sounds like a bug.  As a subscriber you can contact Evernote direct - Support are available on https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new or (if you have any issues) https://twitter.com/evernotehelps

I am having exactly the same problem as Isa and it is driving me quietly insane.

It has been happening ever since Evernote was updated with the new branding, i.e. for approximately 3 weeks.

I have Evernote 8.3 for Android.

Thank you for the reports and logs, and thank you also to those who contacted support with additional information! I'm pleased to say we have been able to pin down this bug and a fix is coming.

I was or am also experiencing either this or similar. Doesn't seem to happen with the Hackers Keyboard I use.

...I just needed the special characters and the alt/ctrl keys.

But the Note 8 stock keyboard is better for normal people stuff and it was making my eye twitch while using evernote.

Will wait to see if next update fixes it.
