Just a summary thread for all third party keyboard issues.

So far for me:

- Messages don't scroll to the bottom when using Swype.

- Often the default keyboard comes back when opening an app and I have to switch to Swype again. Setting the keyboard to Swype doesn't "stick".
 
Can't type reviews on the App Store using Swiftkey. Anyone else? Or is this a 3.5 inch issue?

You can EDIT your SETTINGS(App)/General/Keyboard/Keyboards settings to move the keyboard you wish to use most up to the top of the list. That makes it your default keyboard.

You can then either cycle through the other keyboards with the Globe key at the bottom-left of your spacebar, OR go ballistic and remove the other keyboards once and for all so that only the 3rd party keyboard is left.
 
I just removed the English keyboard.

Also I did notice the text not scrolling... that seems to be a bug in the 3rd party keyboards functionality.. not necessarily a problem with Swype. My swiftkey does it too.

That hasn't made Swiftkey stick as the default keyboard for me.
 
Swiftkey is good, but it covers half the screen/hiding the field I'm typing in, I have no clue what's being entered until I finish. I've switched back to the default keyboard for now.
