Question

How to prevent auto-letter doubling?

Mar 19, 2016 7:44AM PDT

On my Samsung S6, whenever I place a punctuation mark inside or next to a word, it autodeletes the mark and doubles a letter in the word. For example, it changes didn't to ddidnt. When I go back and add the apostrophe, it changes to diidnt, then diddnt, then finally didnnt. This hapens to all words and punctuation. If anyone has help, please tell me.

Then it might be time to reset to factory conditions and see if that helps.
