For some reason, whenever I post on this forum using Firefox on my phone, I get a strange bug. If my phone puts a word in via auto complete then the next word I type usually starts in upper case. It drives me up the wall, having to go Back and remove capital letters mid-sentence.
I've had this phone for a few years and don't have this problem anywhere Else.
Its obviously my phone And not the forum software. Does anyone find this happening, too?

Just downloaded Firefox and am posting this using it. Haven't seen any problem yet. Maybe if I misspelled a word, nope.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

It's utterly bizarre, I work in software development And haven't Seen anything like it before. I'm not correcting my posts to show what happens.
I can see it happening, I auto-complete a word and the keyboard highlights the shift button. It must my related to my phone's keyboard app, but it doesn't do it on Anything else.

Lots of mobile keyboards have problems from time-to-time with the rich text editors used on many forum sites these days, probably due to the massively janky way both work in their own rights.

You can easily test this by selecting the plain text option and seeing if the problems go away. Unfortunately for a real fix, you're reliant on the keyboard and/or forum developers fixing it, and the site owners implementing the fix.

Sounds about right. It's not the worst problem in the world, just annoying having to go back and correct everything I post.
