Hey Everyone

Has anyone had any troubles with the EditBoxes in AGK.

I'm using AppGameKit 2.0.20 Tier 1 at the moment; I'm using an EditBox to handle a person's input. On PC/Mac it works fine, but on Android, as soon as the person adds a space into their string, they cannot delete text or backspace anything after that blank space. I've tried it on multiple Android Devices and have the same result. Which makes it a real pain in the arse when they're trying to type a message and have typos. I haven't tried it on an Apple device to see if I can recreate it there. Maybe I should be tracking their input (writing a string of 140 characters), using the StartTextInput and recording the string that way rather than allowing them to use an EditBox and use GetEditBoxText.

Thoughts?

It's doing the exact same issue with StarTextInput. If I'm writing a string, I cannot backspace anything once I've hit the space key (Android only, it works on Windows/Mac), Both devices were Galaxy S6 devices, Android 6.0.1
Same error after upgrading to the latest Android OS as well.

Just tested it on a Nexus 7 and a Nexus 5 with the following code, but I can't replicate the problem.

If you give the edit box a bitmap font with the 128-255 characters using SetEditBoxExtendedFontImage then it will use those, by default it only supports characters 32-127
