Keyboard freeze when using facebook comments

Not sure what you mean here. Please explain

“To fix that go more deeply into the Accessibility settings where you can find the place where Space gets that special function and change that.”

Forget all that, just upgrade Facebook app, they finally fixed it.

I’ve done this, but I still have random blue boxes and there are still issues with in other apps that I have to turn off full access and then turn it on again for Facebook. I hope they fix this soon.

They did fix it, just update your Facebook app

Thank you for the fix, but wondering if you have a fix for what happens when I use search engine like Google. If I turn the keyboard on it works for FB comments, but then I have to turn it off again each time I use Google or Safari. It’s really annoying having to keep changing it. Do you have this problem too?

Actually, turning on full keyboard access was not a real fix and caused other issue. I resolved my issue by uninstalling Facebook app, doing a reboot on my iPad, and reinstalling the Facebook app. I no longer have freezing comment issues.

I can’t help with that as I use Edge browser to open links in emails. I haven’t seen any problems between the keyboard & Safari though. I use a Logitech keyboard though. Is the problem with Facebook or certain/all websites?

I removed the FB app and reinstalled so The comment problem resolved.

BUT the space bar is still not working on some sites. I couldn’t find anything about Space in the accessibility.

Any advice? Thank you

I’ve had the same problem everyone else with a Slim Folio has had where after the 15.1 update, the Facebook app freezes when you try to comment. I, too, tried the fix suggested by turning on Full Keyboard access but just as everyone else found out, it caused other problems. Today, I finally discovered the fix and I’m sad to say it was so easy. All you need to do is go into your Bluetooth settings, click Forget This Device. Then, reboot your iPad, and then go back to Bluetooth settings and pair the Slim Folio again. I had to press the battery button on the Slim Folio in order to see Slim Folio as an available device in Bluetooth settings. Type in the 6-digit pin, press enter, and it works!

Interesting! Facebook also released an update, 346 of December 10, which seems to have solved it for others who have been posting about it here for the the 6 weeks prior.

I reinstalled Facebook just 2 weeks ago and the problem didn’t go away.

If you wound up with version 346 when you did that, it would be useful to know, since that fixed it for most people, but it was not out until Dec 10.

Just found the fix. Settings -> Accessibility > Keyboards. Turn on Full Keyboard Access. It looks like this got turned off in the 15.1 update.

Yes that does work but then it affects the space bar negatively and also adds a blue box around everything that you are typing in.
