ICS: keyboard dock not working properly in Chrome

I recently flashed the official ics update for the p7310, and installed Chrome. I noticed that when entering text using the samsung keyboard dock, some of the keys don't work as expected. The period key seems to be acting as the delete key, the delete key does nothing, the quote key seems to be acting as a right arrow key, but only sometimes, and the on screen keyboard button does nothing.
needless to say, trying to type this post has been quite fun.
this just a bug in Chrome? Anyone have any ideas for a work-around? Or do I just have to not use Chrome when I want to use the keyboard dock?

I thought I was the only one and it was a random bug. I can verify that this has happened to me as well.

Hi,
I don't have the keyboard dock but I don't have any screen issues.
I type just fine on chrome?
What is the language of your tablet? I have english (united kindgom)... maybe that's it...

have you select the samsung onscreen keyboard while using the dock ?
i read somewhere the onscreen keyboard has to be set to the samsung one when using the dock.
i have the dock but no ics for me till now (p7300 3g unbranded)

Yes, I have the onscreen keyboard set to samsung when I use the dock. For some reason, it always auto-switches to the samsung keyboard when I put it in the dock, even though the text that pops up says to manually switch it.
Ironically enough, i just tried setting the keyboard to swiftkey while using the keyboard dock, and my period key is now working correctly in chrome.
I guess I can live with that as a workaround when I want to use the keyboard dock in chrome. Delete key still doesn't work though and the quote key is still tempermental.

Question about the Nexus 6 stock keyboard

Has anyone else had an issue with the stock keyboard not working properly with certain apps? I'm using it to input passwords on certain apps & it's as if the app is not recognizing the input or misinterpreting it.
Changing to another keyboard seems to resolve it with some but not all apps.

Sorry for the double post, but I can only assume that from the lack of response that no one else has encountered this issue?

Have you tried on of the keyboards form the play store to see if it is it is the keyboard?

Yes it resolves the issue in some apps but not others.

swiftkey and samsung keyboard issue

i love to use use swiftkey. But on galaxy s6, even after I choose swiftkey as default keyboard, samsung keyboard turns itself into default keyboard after a while (anywhere from few minutes to hours...). it is so annoying to select manually swiftkey all the time. Any way around this issue?

gurus , any idea ?

if nothing else you could probably use tasker to automatically set swiftkey as your default keyboard every X minutes/hours and/or when you use X programs.
OR you might be able to make it notify you via popup/alarm when samsung keyboard becomes default in order to try and pinpoint the cause
It'd be a little more advanced than anything I've done with tasker so I can't give you step by step instructions on the setup you'd need to create, but a quick google yielded these instructions, you could tweak it to your needs:

it's not a real fix, but a temporary workaround is better than nothing. I'm currently using tasker to workaround an issue I have with MMS not sending when connected to wifi. (Shuts wifi off for 10 seconds when mms comes in)
Questions:
-Have you attempted using another 3rd party keyboard to see if it does it to all keyboards or just swype? I use "Jelly Bean Keyboard" (downloadable from google play) and I can say once or twice its gone back to samsung keyboard, but i THINK that was due to me tinkering and accidentally resetting defaults.
-though more than likely useless, have you tried wiping your cash? shut phone off then hold power + home + volume up (or is it down?) and select wipe cash then restart phone
-finally although I don't recommend this until all other options are exhausted, it's worth asking just to know what you've tried, have you done a factory reset yet?
i've downloaded swiftkey and set it as default in my S6 just to try and help, I'll use it for a day or two and see if it resets on me and report back

Disable or freeze the Samsung keyboard

From what I know you can't disable Samsung keyboard, at least not without root
Edit: nevermind, went into input method in settings and yes theres a disable option for Samsung keyboard.
Ive been using swiftkey since yesterdays post, so far no issue, its stayed as the selected option

finally, got it working. I have been trying to disable samsung keyboard from settings, but it will enable itself everytime. this time, i have also disabled google voice typing option, and now Swiftkey stays as default. I dont know what is the co-relation between the two, but it works. Thanks all of you for various suggestions.

I keep google voice typing enabled for occasional use while driving if I need to respond to a txt asap, along with an alternate (jellybean) keyboard as primary, it's never caused an issue for me before
Day 2 into using swiftkey keyboard (with google voice typing enabled) without any disabling/resetting to default samsung keyboard problems
On a side note, if I could remove the word suggestion bar I'd probably keep swiftkey now, got a theme i like on it and learning to enjoy it, though I dont use the swype function at all

Keyboard swipe on Note 7 ports

I seem to find it commonplace lately that note 7 ports for the N910T have something wrong with swype functionality on the keyboard. The trail is there but no text gets into the input field. Anyone have a possible solution to this? I know you can download an external keyboard (google keyboard) and restore its function that way but I prefer the N7 one if I can manage it. Ive searched but just asking to see if i'm missing something.
Thanks!

Swype works fine on my Note 7 port
