Help Arrow keys not working

FlyingHorse

Lurker
Like the title says, my arrow keys don't work when trying to edit a post. They work just fine in the Title box but when I drop down to start writing the main body the arrow keys no longer work to navigate the cursor around. Since I'm on my tablet I could just touch the screen to move the cursor but the fingers on my paw usually cover about eight characters making it difficult to do so with any accuracy.:rolleyes:

For those wondering I am having this problem with Firefox for Android 41.0 running on KK 4.4.2. My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P900 and I'm using the stock Samsung soft keyboard. I don't know if earlier versions of FF had this problem as I just recently joined the forums.

If anybody reading this has any ideas I'm willing to try anything.

BTW I've already tried disabling all add-ons and clearing the browser cache, but no help.
 
I know of others who've had similar issues. Apparently the Xscope browser works quite well with our forum software.

However if you don't want to pay, you could try Swiftkey Keyboard, that works for me.

We've got a tapatalk style app too, is that of interest or do you prefer the web interface?
 
I just tried Chrome and it works. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one, well I don't mean it like that, but you know what I mean.:rolleyes:

I might try the app at some point but for now I'll just use a text editor then cut and paste.

Thanks for the feedback.
