A bit of help needed with Backspace key processing on Android

[Sebastian Diel]

Hi,
IANADev, but this might perhaps be related to the bugs
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313212
(see also: #307748 and #304230)

You could try setting the Qt::ImhNoPredictiveText flag on the QLineEdit
and see if it still shows that behaviour. Just an idea...

Best regards,
Sebastian
