With Live Conversion, can’t input Japanese - Romaji

Description

  • When continuing to type Japanese with Live Conversion turned on, unconverted characters and carets disappear and key typing becomes completely impossible.

1. Steps to reproduce

  1. Open “Settings” on iPad and select General > Keyboards > Keyboard > “Add New Keyboard…”. Next, select Japanese > Romaji and tap “Done”.
  2. Go to “Settings” > General > Keyboards > Hardware Keyboard > Enable “Live Conversion”
  3. Open Obsidian and type in Japanese as follows

raibuhenkanwoyuukounisitajoutaidetaipinguwotudukeruto

2. Expected result

  • As you continue to type, the system automatically converts the Japanese text to kanji as you type. A feature called “Live Conversion” infers the correct kanji from the context and converts it.

3. Actual result

  • While typing, suddenly the caret and the character before conversion disappears, and there is no response to any key input.
  • If you press a lot of keys at random, a list of possible conversions appears in the upper left corner of the screen, but nothing happens after that.
  • In order to resume inputting, you have to click with the cursor on the part you want to enter.

No. Now this problem doesn’t happen in 1.4.5 (104).
And this isn’t the same as the concerned problem you said.
