AnswerBank used to be a joy to use on these devices, but lately I have been having a few problems typing in answers and questions.

The keyboard will close mid sentence, the caps come on for no reason, and the page will jump to a new link when you haven't clicked on one, thus losing your writing.

As I say, this is only recent, it use to be fine.

Anyone else having similar problems?

I've been having exactly the same problem - thought my fingers must have become really fat!

Interesting. Can you pinpoint when this first happened?

Started on my iPad in the last few days. No problems on my iPhone at the moment.

I was having trouble on my iPhone last week while I was away, thought like sherrardk that it was my fault. When I got home, the same thing was happening on my iPad.

When the keyboard goes just as you are about to type a letter, you sometimes hit a link that was under the keyboard, and all of your writing is lost when you go to that link.

Note for the techies:

I have not made any updates to the system OS of either gadget.

That sounds a pain, I'll have to have a play on an iPad this evening and see if I can recreate the problem. I do have a hunch as to what it is - but I'll have to check this evening.

All the best,

Hi AB editor - just to let you know that this is still going on and it is a real pain!
