Details

Backspace key doesn't work on Samsung keyboard (Z Fold 5) (long press is handled and works as expected). Changed keyboard to one from Microsoft, backspace key started to work normally. On newest Pixel with standard keyboard the same issue. On iOS it seems that the issue doesn't exist. The issue persists in all inputs located inside wrapped BetterFeedback widget. The input with issue description doesn't have the bug. I know that some time ago this issue was fixed, but it looks like it's back. PS all my inputs are located in AlertDialogs, maybe this is the cause?

Steps to reproduce

Install and use widget according to instructions. Put an input field into scaffold/alert dialog. Enter some text, try to remove it using backspace key.

The issue was fixed in Flutter itself, so you should open am issue on the Flutter repo. Therefore, I'm afraid I can't do much about the issue :(

I'll keep this issue open tho, so other people are aware of it.

Just to clarify. The issue was always on the Flutter's side, right?

@pixotri I'm facing the same issue, how did you fix it

[pixotri]

@eb-so in the version 3.1.0 of the library it seems to be gone at least on the devices I have :)
