bluebooth keyboard spacebar not work with ipad or iphone

Hi support

I seems find a bug on IOS (at least my ipad mini and iphone 5C)

When I connect bluebooth keyboard no matter what brandname to my ipad mini and iphone 5c, in some cases spacebar are no response. (Just press spacebar from begining it works, but press spacebar after any words are not working)

I tried to disconnect and reconnect again, even reset cant help.

At last, I found that the common problem is when the IOS virtual keyboard switch to "Chinese Handwrite", then press spacebar between words are not work and other keys can works as usual. If I switch IOS virtual keyboard switch to "English", then all keys work fine.

May I know any solution to solve it?

thx

iPad, iOS 7.1

I just came across this today, and for me at least, switching off the keyboard and changing the language back from Chinese handwriting to English in the on-screen keyboard WAS the fix to the problem. I don't know why it changed to Chinese handwriting in the first place, but changing it back fixed it for me.

Yes, sorry. I should have mentioned that it was only useful for me. Not a solution to the problem.

I've reported it as a bug to Apple, ID 17132795

(Not sure if it's possible to provide a direct link to view it. I think it's account-based)

An Apple engineer has reviewed the bug and asked me to verify if it still occurs on iOS 8 Beta 3. I don't have access to a development unit - anybody care to test this one out for me?
