Glitch when typing wrong answer in “spelling” mode

Glitch when typing wrong answer in “spelling” mode

Postby Jackens » Fri Aug 19, 2022 1:17 am

First of all - I absolutely love this app, it helped me so much!

But there’s one funny glitch I observed - I am using flashcards on IOS (latest update) to learn Greek, using the spelling mode. Very often after typing a wrong answer in Greek (the glitch doesn’t occur if I type in English), when I erase it tapping on the back key, it automatically types one letter (always the same one).

Does it sound familiar to anyone?

Cheers,

J.

Hi,

I'm glad you like the app. Thanks!

I have no idea what is going on. I was just trying to duplicate it on a greek flashcard, but could not have a little playing with it. I haven't seen this before.
Instead of tapping the back key, try tapping the Enter key and see if that works any differently.

I have to correct myself, this glitch only happens when I try to immediately type the word again, without first hitting backspace or enter (if I do that, there's no problem). Also, it doesn't happen every single time.

I used my other IOS device and I was able to replicate this problem: I created a flashcard with the word νιπτήρας (bathroom sink), then if I type in Greek with a mistake, the app shows me the correct spelling (with mistakes in red) and when I try to type the answer again (without hitting backspace or enter), the letter σ sometimes appears at the beginning of what I am typing, even though I did not type it.

In general it's not such a big problem, so no worries, I can live with that, it's just that sometimes when I don't pay attention and don't remove this σ at the beginning, it of course doesn't accept my answer as correct and then I get to repeat this particular flashcard more often even though I don't need to ;)

Ah, I was able to duplicate the problem. This is problem with my coding. I think I just fixed this. The next update should come out within a couple weeks and this should be fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
