Editing Problem on Kindle Fire

[Kevin Kleinfelter]

I'm unable to edit old TW5 content on my Kindle Fire. When i press the edit icon, TW switches to the editor. It lets me enter new characters, but I can't backspace over existing characters or otherwise replace them.

A real Handy use-case for TW on a Kindle is to run TW in a browser (to a remote node.js TW) to take notes while reading an e-book. But if the editor won't allow editing existing text, one had best not save any typos!

The issue appears to be in a core Kindle component, because the behavior is the same with Silk, Chrome, and Firefox.

Any ideas for a work-around?

It isn't an Android issue. Editing works fine on my Android Cell phone

This sounds like something is wrong with your selected input method. Testing with a Kindle 7 and Jed's Bob multi-user. Works with the standard keyboard and with the anysoft keyboard.

Consider testing with other online apps and see if they have the same input problems.

Maybe you need to reboot?
