SUMMARY

KDE Connect Android Remote Input inserts double spaces when using CodeBoard Keyboard

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Install CodeBoard Keyboard for Coding on an Android device

Pair the Android device with a PC using KDE Connect

Open Remote Input from the KDE Connect Android app

Type any text using the space bar

OBSERVED RESULT

Each press of the space bar inserts two spaces instead of one when typing via Remote Input.

Typing directly on the Android device (not using Remote Input) inserts only a single space.

EXPECTED RESULT

Each press of the space bar should insert exactly one space, regardless of the keyboard used.

SOFTWARE / OS VERSIONS

Android version: Android 12
Phone model: Samsung Galaxy A21s
KDE Connect Android version: from Play Store
Keyboard used: CodeBoard Keyboard for Coding

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The issue occurs only when using KDE Connect Remote Input

The issue does not occur when typing locally on the phone

The issue does not occur when using simpler keyboards (e.g. Samsung Keyboard or Gboard)

This suggests KDE Connect may be duplicating space key events when interacting with certain smart/coding keyboards

Samsung account and system keyboard settings do not affect the issue
