    Swype keyboard in browser - space not automatically inserted?

    Normally when typing (Swyping) using the Swype keyboard, it automatically inserts a space between words when I take my finger off the keyboard in between words. And it works this way in all places where a keyboard shows up, EXCEPT for in the browser. In the browser, when I tap the Search button and use Swype, it doesn't automatically insert a space.

    Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a fix?

    Using Swype now and spacing is fine. I am running Droid forums app but will give the browse a go in a second.

    Yup, like I mentioned, it works fine in all apps wherever a keyboard pops up and Swype entry is an option. The only exception I have found is in the browser when performing a search.

    Ok, so I see what you're dealing with. The reason may be because the window also serves add the Web address window as well. Still, it recognized the words "test of the spacing", even though it appeared as "testofthespacing".

    That's a good point, and you're probably right about that. If that window is brought up using the search button though, I can't imagine it would be too difficult for it to realize that we want to search and not type in a URL...

    Agreed, and it certainly seems strange but it worked so I'd give it a try to seeif it works for your search needs.

    Using x scope as the browser with Swype, spaces are inserted on the google search bar but not on the Web address line, as it should be.
