    Hi there. I have no issues at all replying to posts using my laptop. On my mobile it is another matter altogether. Typing out a reply has become an impossibility, with my entries leaping around all over the place and the cursor mysteriously moving miles down the page, without me having done anything. I have given up replying using it now. I can't reply to posts unless I am at home where the laptop is.
    I wondered if it was my mobile, but I think not. I can type things into twitter and other forums I am a member of without difficulty. It is just Bantamtalk I have this problem with.
    I wonder if anyone else has this problem or if you have any ideas as to what is going wrong.
    Many thanks.

    I had this issue around a month ago using a Samsung S20. I ended up clearing cache/data from my Internet use and it seemed to resolve it.

    Mine is a Samsung too, so I will have a go at that. Thanks for the tip.

    If that doesnt work scroll to the bottom of the home page and look for style chooser drop box

    select dark without quick page jumps

    Evening gents, I'm having this issue again and tried all of the above with no joy. Do you have any fixes?

    In last couple of days I've noticed similar on Samsung
    The curser jumps around or drops down the page

    The text moves sometimes too

    Any ideas @SimonW@SimonW

    Just trying to see if this makes any difference

    Seems to be working ok

    There's an app called Gboard in the playstore , testing the keyboard it's much better than the Samsung keyboard that is default on android

    So far it seems to be working fine on here without glitches so give it a try

    You can always switch back if needs be but it seems there's a bug in the Samsung keyboard

    Can't see any issues using the Gboard keyboard... So give it a try and let me know

    After a few tests I haven't noticed any glitches... Predictive text is a lot better too

    Nothing has been changed at this end in the last few days and I'm not having it on Stock Android so I suspect based on what @king karl@king karl has posted that its a Samsung update. That's the problem with Samsung phones, good hardware but they have a habit of replacing things that really don't need to be replaced; with their own custom versions rather than using the perfectly good Stock Android. Gboard is the stock android Keyboard.

    It's not even as if Samsung did something groundbreaking with their keyboard, there are some fairly good ones that do some interesting things especially fi you write a lot on your phone and are willing to put in some short term work to learn different ways to type that save time in the long run (Such as Swiftkey) but if they arent doing that they should stick with what works
