Keyboard switches automatically

Been like that since 3rd party keyboards were introduced. Some keyboards are better than others. I use Fleksy and it doesn't usually revert back to the stock keyboard unless I have to input a password, which is by design.
That's bad, it's actually highly annoying as it is right now. I understand the change when entering a password, but now it's always a mess when I leave open the keyboard. Reason I use SwiftKey is because of the multilanguage predictive text. Fleksy doesn't have that so I'd have to switch languages all the time. This sucks...
Have you in keyboard settings pressed edit and drug the new 3rd party keyboard to the top of the list. I have also "deleted" the stock English input method from the list too.
This will result in always having Swiftkey.

I did drag it to the top but haven't deleted the other keyboards. I have now and I think the problem is solved. Thanks!
It's unlikely this will solve your problem. Why would I know that? I have taken the same steps and my Swype keyboard still sometimes reverts to stock. 3rd party keyboards have been buggy as hell since they were introduced. They're getting better but can still be flaky.

why I can't stay dedicated is the performance issues and there not being dictation on 3rd party keyboards.
Swype is cool and all, but when I can't use my voice I'm out.

Yes but it doesn't actually achieve anything, all it will do is stop you manually selecting the stock keyboard.
Swiftkey will still occasionally bug back to stock. The code is built into iOS, I assume so it can handle password duty if you have that option enabled.
