WillowRaven (willowraven1) | 24 comments For the past few weeks, when trying to write a review via the Android app, when using a standard keyboard (instead of the on screen keyboard), when hitting the arrow back to make a correction (such as fixing a transposition of 2 letters), instead of it going back in the writing, it ends up tabbing you back out of the screen. This is different than using the "BACKSPACE" button which will delete everything you backspace over.... using the back arrow doesn't delete, thereby allowing you to *just* delete the error(s) and make any necessary correction(s).

Further note:
1. There is no warning that it is taking you off your page and that anything not saved beforehand will not be posted (which ends up only being partially correct). This kind of pop up message usually is found in most programs/apps, thereby avoiding the possibility of losing work (which has happened to me a few times with this bug/glitch).
2. It will - and does - auto save and post your star rating, however it won't auto save whatever progress you made on the written part of the review. This results in having to go to the web browser and access the book page and manually add the review there.

If this could be fixed, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
