Hi - first thanks for your app and all the hard work that's gone into it :)

I have an issue on Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) non-rooted stock Android v2.3.6 that I cannot figure out - possibly it's a bug. ATE launches fine and then opens the default Samsung XT9 touchscreen keyboard fine.

However if I type anything in lowercase it doesn't appear in the terminal. As I type subsequent letters the "word preview" area in the keyboard changes letter instead of adding a character to the existing string.

If I change to uppercase however it seems to function as it should - letters are sent to the terminal. But of course commands don't work like this :( As soon as I change back to lowercase it doesn't send keystrokes to the terminal anymore. The "done" key works all the time.

First time I ran ATE I was using a KB replacement named AI Keyboard instead of the default Samsung one. AI Keyboard froze up as soon as I opened it in ATE - not sure if this is part of the issue or not. I changed back to Samsung XT9 default and switched all aids off (auto-caps, word prediction etc) and had the behaviour outlined above.

Any pointers you can give me or halps? Regards.
