Question Help - s pen not bringing up onscreen kb in chrome - Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

Hi boys n gals. I have a weird one and can not figure it out.
I recently noticed that whenever I use s pen and press on a text field inside chrome it will not bring up on screen kb. It will pop if I point to address bar or any other text field within system but not anything in chrome in webpages or Google search bar on Google page. Even here on title or text box, when I bring the pen near screen it shows the blue draw icon that I am sure it didn't before and that's it, it does nothing. Sometimes the blue draw icon wont show, just the small dot . On screen kb comes on fine if I press these fields with finger but not with s pen. I'm lost, I tried the usual restart tablet clear caches but no bueno. Anyone have any pointers ?
Thank you

start menu goes white and scrolls

hey,
if anyone could help me, i'd really appreciate it.
the start menu on my tilt turns white now because it scrolls way too far down (list is much longer than screen res allows for and has arrows on top and bottom for scrolling). the recently used programs list that shows up in the start menu reiterates itself 4 times and shows up vertically and horizontally regardless of what orientation the screen is in.
i could really use some help, so let me know what you guys think/know the problem is.
thanks in advance!

How to get rid of suggestion bar when typing up texts and messages

Hi
I'm using Fitaly as my default keyboard. I find that whenever I type up a text message/email that the suggestion bar gets confused with this. When I use Fitaly to edit my mistakes, the bar (the gray one along the top of the text area, with a plus sign to the right to add words to the dictionary), tends to get confused and mis-correct my errors.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn this thing off. Can anyone help me out?
Figured it out myself. The bar only displays when the keyboards have been set to T9 rather than ABC. Easy!

Problem with Keyboard when texting

Sometimes when I am trying to text I can only see one line and my phone doesn't allow me to scroll down. If I hit enter I can still only see the one line. Anyone else have this problem?

That will happen occassionally. I think the only way to fix it is by closing and then reopening the messaging app.
I have seen this happen often if you hit a button to launch the messaging app, and then slide the keyboard open (causing screen rotation) while the app is loading. It gets confused and makes the text entry area fall under the bottom button bar.
The answer is to completely close and re-open the messaging app, and always wait until it is fully loaded before sliding the keyboard out.
Another trick is to load the SIP. Touch the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen and it will push the text input window out.

[Q] I type, the curser moves, but no text appears

My Note has developed an infuriating fault which only happens in notepad apps, which is: I touch the screen in an notepad file and the QWERTY keyboard appears. All good. But when I start to type, although the cursor moves (sometimes to the right, often down a line or two or three first and then to the right) no text appears on screen. However, when I then exit the QWERTY keyboard, the text miraculously appears. This has only started recently and I'm very keen to get to the bottom of it. My notepad of choice is "Note Everything", but I've now duplicated the problem in two other notepad apps. Can anyone please offer any suggestions as to what might be going on here? Many thanks.

How do I select text for copying and pasting?

Sorry, I can't figure it out...
I can do it in web pages fine, but say, if I'm writing a text message and want to select the text I've written to copy it, I can't make the highlighting thingies appear
Sometimes it's long press, sometimes it's double tap and sometimes it doesn't work at all because only that damn magnification glass comes up.
In a text message, you have to double-tap to select text. Not sure why, but yeah lol..
speaking of this I'm also having trouble dragging the text selector around. it tends to fly to random places.

Root + Navbar arrows, I can't live without them
Why do you want to root your device? SwiftKey with enabled navigation arrows it is... But yeah, selecting a text on this phone is a pain in the a*s
I like the stock keyboard more than SwiftKey.
