Describe the bug you encountered:

After swiping away entry notification, the KP2A one line keyboard no longer switches back to the Google Keyboard. It switches to the black KP2A full keyboard.

This started occuring after I updated to Android 14 QPR1, the December update on Google Pixel.

This is the keyboard it switches to:

I have a similar issue which might be related. After I use the one line keyboard to fill the entries and press Go, it does not switch back to the original keyboard, even though I have the Password entry access / Keyboard switching / Switch keyboard when done setting enabled.

Do I need to have the KeyboardSwap plugin installed for this as well? The settings imply that it's only needed for the first option. For this plugin, the google store says I can't install it because it's not compatible with my Android version (14).

I'm also running into this issue. I have the KeyboardSwap plugin installed, with the WRITE_SECURE_SETTING permission granted via ADB as well. If there's anything I can do to help provide information on what's happening, let me know!

I'm experiencing the same behavior with the keyboard automatically switching but not switching back. I'm on a Google Pixel 8 Pro, Android 14 build UQ1A.240105.004, and KP2A 1.10-pre with the Keyboard swap plugin installed and otherwise working. Auto-switch keyboard, keyboard switch back and switch keyboard when done settings are all enabled. Clipboard timeout and app timeout are both set. I also think it last worked around early December or so. If anything else could impact this that it would be useful to have, just let me know.

does it switch back if you press the lock key on the keyboard?

[vorezal]

Not for me at least, no. It closes the entry and locks the database but stays in the keepass2android keyboard's full text entry mode.

Does not switch back if I press the lock key.

I'm experiencing the same issue on LineageOS 21.

It does not matter if I press go, lock the database or dismiss the notification the keyboard does not switch back to my main keyboard app.

I also have the plugin installed and have granted the permissions through adb.

If there are any further debug steps or logs I can provide let me know, I would be happy to help.

@PhilippC What do you need to help squash this bug?

[PhilippC]

time... sorry, I haven't had the chance to even look into my emails for the app in the past few months.

[benyjr]

What is the status of this bug? It's a big pain to have to manually switch back to my default keyboard every time I enter a password.

Any news on this issue? Swapping is broken on current Android 14 (Pixel 9 Pro) while it works fine on Android 14 from November 2023 (Pixel 5).

I feel like @PhilippC has given up on developing this app any further. Last commits were back in February.

At least the bug made me again have a look at autofill which meanwhile works quite good so far. So I'll stick to that instead. 👍

An observation: While playing around with it I recognized that the keyboard switches back correctly on lock if it was manually selected before, i.e. open the password entry, manually switch to the K2A keyboard, insert the credentials somewhere and press lock. When autoswap is active K2A remains the active keyboard while the previous keyboard is active with this approach. Maybe this helps locating the bug.
