Android 4.4 google keybopard delete problem

[zulu99]

The last google keyboard have in the delete button a problem / bug or for sure a different behaviour respect to the previous versions. If you type with soft keyboard, you can delete what you have typed. If you put in background the application that use the keyboard and after reopen it, the delete key not work, you can't delete the previous added text. The Volume UP as delete key in DroidMote Client help you when the new delete of new google 4.4 keyboard not work well. (specially after voice dictation)

This problem is present in many apps. Example: Jackpal's terminal emulator (enter text, press Home, return, and try to delete), and Minecraft PE (create a new world, and try to delete the existing world name).

The problem was also mentioned at this page:
