Typing too fast activates keyboard swipe controls

[JRScott01]

Basically the header. If i type too quickly with my thumbs, the swipe keyboard will activate out of nowhere and mess up my typing.

It's been like this the past few updates and it gets very annoying. I cant find anything else about this.

Of course it stops if I turn off swipe keyboard, but I do use the swipe keyb function fairly often.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

It's a typing issue where you have to make sure you are lifting your thumbs properly and not dragging them on the keyboard. It takes a little training on your part. I type double thumb pretty quickly and and at first it was doing exactly what you said. But after changing my technique, it no longer activates the swipe function unless I want it.

I see. This may be the case, but it's strange since it only started happening after I had a small phone upgrade (A51 -> A53)
I guess it could be the smallest difference in the phone's size messing with my technique, but that also seems unlikely. Not sure. I will keep this in mind, though.

Out of curiosity, what keyboard are you using? I have attempted to replicate what you are describing on both Samsung Keyboard and Gboard and I have been unable to accidentally trigger swipe typing, no matter how quickly I type.

Could you possibly have increased touch sensitivity turned on?

I've only been using the default Samsung keyboard. Just checked and touch sensitivity was not on.
Like the other person said, it may be my typing technique. Its just a little strange since I didnt have this issue before my phone upgrade, so I thought it mightve been a software issue.
