Dropping first word in text messages

[bobinfla]

When replying to text messages, the first word I type is frequently automatically deleted. I have seen several references to this problem in the forum, but I have not been able to find if anyone ever found a way to fix it.

I am using Sprint Rom ver. 2.00.651.7 and alternate between Fingerkeyboard and compact qwerty for text entry.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

are you speaking of first word or first letter.. im just curious cause ive pretty much just heard about the first letter not coming up...

[bobinfla]

The entire first word. The word appears in the t9 selection box but when I hit the space key or select the word from the t9 options the word disappears and then the message continues normally starting with the 2nd word I type. Plus, when I use a signature, the cursor moves past the sig and starts entering text at that point starting with the second word I typed.

It appears to occur randomly but very frequent.

make sure you have the text box selected, and the cursor is flashing. i do it all the time. especially when im trying to catch my keyboard from disappearing when texting.

I was able to reproduce the problem by intentionally deselecting the text box and typing a word. I will try to watch for this in the future and see if it stops this problem. But I don't unerstand why sometimes the text box would not be automatically selected when you pull up the keyboard.
