BUG cursor jumping to mail body when typing recipient mail address

[Thibault Roulet]

Hi all,

Small but annoying bug in version 5.6

Sometimes, when writing the recipient address in a new message, the cursor jumps by itself in the body section of the mail, leaving the address incomplete with a red exclamation mark telling me the address could not be parsed.

Thanks in advance

Hmm. Haven't had that happen here unless I accidentally tap Enter, a tab, or accidentally tap in the body.

K-9 5.6 on Android 7.

I think I found the way to reproduce it.

Start typing an address, K9 will propose a list of known addresses but then when the next letter you type doesn't match any of those addresses, it jumps out.

Thanks, Thibault. I believe it's happening on your installation. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it here with either the Samsung Keyboard or the Graffiti Pro Keyboard I usually use.

I have word suggestions/predictive text turned off. Could that feature be triggering this behavior?

Sorry, Thibault. I have no idea. Putting this back onto the K-9 list to
widen the pool of knowledgeable people.

Also, which version of Android are you using? My tablet's only on
Android 7. Maybe the issue is connected with a newer Android than mine.
