issue with textinput keyboard_suggestions or InputType on android when using backspace
Software Versions
- Python: 3.10.4
- OS: windows10/ ubuntu 22.04
- Kivy: v2.3.0
- tested on the latest version of android
Describe the bug basically what happens is when i have inputtype and/or keyboard_suggestions set, the backspace does some weird behavior shown in the video attached. this doesn't happen on windows only on phone/tablet
Expected behavior it would be nice to have the keyboard_suggestions feature working properly for my users.
To Reproduce issue happens when i have my textinput set like this: self.text_input = TextInput(input_type='text',hint_text=f"{self.instructions_message}", keyboard_suggestions=True, multiline=True, size_hint=(1, 0.8) ) or this: self.text_input = TextInput(input_type='text', hint_text=f"{self.instructions_message}", multiline=True, size_hint=(1, 0.8) )

**Additional context**
tried to download latest version of sdl
tried to use develop instead of master for p4a.branch in my .spec file
the only way to have this behavior fixed is by fully removing the inputtype and the keyboard_suggestions from the textinput
I do not think we have a specific one, even if this issue already showed up somewhere, so I will keep this open. However, you may find it interesting to check out this recap.
(Development for this rewrite will start after https://github.com/kivy/kivy/issues/8574is completed, or at least is usable)
Feel free to help out 😀
