Help When typing on S2 cursor jumps down??

[sharkhark]

Hi i have searched and found similar issues on other handsets but cannot find a thread and suggested solutions on the new S2.
I have only owned it less than two weeks and noticed when swyping or typing that if i have to correct a word once in awhile and use the delete button to move back ...either partially or fully to fix a word...
...i will start to type or swype again..happens either way..that at random the cursor...
..will drop down to the line that says "sent from samsung mobile" and in the middle of that sentence will move the cursor there and start typing inside the middle of that sentence.

If i purposely go back up to where i left off and tap to place cursor there...it will put the cursor back up...and as i begin to correct word or continue typing or swyping again...it will...you guessed it....immediately move you back down past the empty space to middle of tagline again and again and again. then randomly work for a bit..then do it again. Almost in every email at some point.

i know of no other way to describe it, happens randomly but enough that i want to pull my hair out. I cannot simply reply or compose an email and swype away, i have to look down as many times, most times, it will have my paragraph half done and in middle of the bottom tag it will have my typing down there.

anyhow heard of this problem on S2 and suggestion? please!

nobody has experienced this? no ideas?
i find it hard to believe because after all the painstaking installation of and customization of my new gs2 experiencing this, i went back to store and they swapped it for a new one that instantly did the same thing.

so not only do i still have the issue, since it was on two units, somebody...many...must have had this issue. now i have a new unit that sucks as i spent two weeks customizing the old one ....please...someone!

it happens on new unit, the same way, you go to correct a few letters or a word and as you put in the new one it jumps down past the space below your paragraph into the tag line announcing it came from your samsung...then you try and tap cursor back where you meant to type and it may or may not type there...it half the time goes back down again and again.

help!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there, i have experienced the same problem, also posted a thread before http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2/389962-any-issues-your-s2.html about typing in the google search box when browsing internet, if the text exceeds the box size then you are unable to see what goes outwith the box. Makes it a nuisance if you mis type something. A few minor but annoying gripes.

yes, i did see that comment. I agree it does that and also not just in google search box, but when visiting regular sites of mine, when you go to reply or make a post, many times a window will pop up and the keyboard takes up almost the entire screen and the window is small and what you are typing cannot be seen.
on my old galaxy s it would resize to make it viewable on the captivate, but on the S2 even if i pinch and zoom to resize it, the moment you go back to typing it reconfigures and you cannot see.
i have to then go back after and double make sure what i actually typed or in error a mistake spelled post goes on.

for me though, this problem i have is the main pain as i use email allot and to have the cursor jumping down and to the bottom constantly is frustrating. my old captivate never did this once, my new phone and even its replacement, does it in every single email.

I don't have a suggestion but I can tell you that you're not going crazy.
It happens to me too, especially when texting.
