I've also had it crash in iOS8 when I enter "tm" and it auto-corrects to the trademark symbol in certian input types (email, etc.)

Hi sopilkar did you manage to find a solution to this problem, every time I try to complete a form in Safari all input freezes on the third character. The only way I've found to get around it is to paste the entry. Thanks in advance

@clarkja69 Hi!

One dirty workaround (founded by disable prev/next buttons) is:

onfocusTextField: function () {
// set disabled all another fields
}
onblurTextField: function() {
// set enabled fields
}

Hi many thanks, I'll give that a try when I get a few minutes. Cheers
