Droid X multi-touch keyboard not working properly

[cnguyenlu]

Hi all,

I'm having problems with my typing with the multi-touch keyboard. The touch screen works perfectly fine, but it's when I go to type anything (on Facebook, Google search, or text messages).

What's happening, is when I start typing anything out and press the Spacebar, the keyboard disappears and I have to touch the area to get the keyboard up again. And at that point, everytime I use the Spacebar, it does this all over again.

I've switched to Swype, which works great still. But I was wondering if anyone knew why this was going on.

I've reset my phone a couple times and I've recently upgraded my X to Gingerbread.

Thanks!

You just deleted the keyboard data cache. Basically giving it a fresh start.

Thank you so much for this fix. It has been driving me crazy not being able to type. SWYPE is ok but I prefer the multi-touch Keyboard.

This "fix" never fixed anything on mine.

I get this same behavior in the Browser, Facebook, etc. I especially hate it when I Google something and the keyboard disappears after the first word which apparently makes Google and the browser think that's the only search term I entered. This happens using the stock keyboard and Swype but not always in every app.

This happened in Gingerbread and still happens now that I reverted back to Froyo. It's annoying.

My keyboard locks up and freezes whenever I touch a punctuation mark. I have to power off to get the key board to function again.

What data do I lose/delete by clearing data in keyboard?? When I click 'clear data' as you instructed, it says: "! All of this application's data will be deleted permanently. This includes all files, settings, accounts, databases, and so on." Sounds pretty scary!
