Cutting a piece of text destroys the rest of the field

Ever since the last update, every time I cut a piece of text from a field (but not the entire text), it proceeds to delete everything else the moment I hit the backspace.

This is particularly annoying, because I have several lines of text in fields (separated by line breaks), so every time I cut a line of text in order to move it around, it deletes my entire field, which then forces me to discard the changes and start all over again (and this happens several times each turn).

Here’s the scenario:

  1. Store a multi-line text in a field
  2. Cut a large piece of text from the field (but not the entirety of it). Then, instantly after the cut, hit the backspace (I usually do that to delete a line break after cutting the text).
  3. Poof, the entire remaining text prior to the backspace gets deleted.

I already tried reinstalling the app to no avail…

Note: This seems to be prevented if before hitting the backspace, you change the cursor’s position to another line.

Any updates?

I haven’t been able to reproduce this on 2.18.4 (Play Store). Does this happen every time you cut text, or just sometimes?

Perhaps it’s something about the specific text on that note. Can you post a sample that it happens with?

Or is it specific to your entry method – are you using an onscreen or external keyboard? [I’m using Gboard.]
