So, every time I format something on the fly by bolding, italicizing, or underlining it, it works fine but if I later press backspace it jumps back to the last formatted letter and backspaces from there. It's odd to describe (but quite frustrating ^_^), but say I was typing this:

"Hello, my name is Yonx<backspace>"

When I hit backspace to correct my name, it will jump infront of the 'e' in 'name'. So basically, after I hit the backspace, it will look like this:

"Hello, my nam is Yonx"

And if I was trying to backspace a number of times without looking, it'll keep backspacing back there instead (essentially, the cursor is just moved back there) -- I'd have to manually move the cursor back to its correct position.

Not sure if this is me, but it's quite frustrating when trying to type using any kind of formatting (took me a while to figure out what exactly was going on and why my cursor was jumping all over the place)... ^_^

It's a bug with the text input editor provided with the software. The authors are apparently aware of it and it should be fixed in the next release (which is supposedly in a month or two). Till then, we have to live with it
