Jerboa's text editing is horribly broken even with the stock LineageOS (Android) keyboard. I don't know what nonsense it's doing, but it's not just you.
Good to know it's not just that keyboard. I wonder what the cause is because it seems to work fine with the Samsung keyboard and SwiftKey (I don't use them, but I needed to test something else out and decided to do the same with Jerboa).
Some of the markdown editing is still off, but it wasn't doing the "just delete random words and merge words together when backspacing" thing.
Maybe it's something to do with the AOSP keyboard, since both the LineageOS stock one and OpenBoard are based on it (I think).
Anysoft Keyboard works okay with Jerboa, I am about as clumsy with it (the kb) on Jerboa as I am with it on other apps. That keyboard can be a bit of a pain to set up though.
Yeah, I actually have it installed as well. Maybe I'll try it with Jerboa.
Gives me issues on its own, though. Autocorrect is particularly annoying, and it's been a noted in two open issues, both started over two years ago:

https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/issues/2821
Wish that would get sorted. Especially the "im" to "I'm" thing.
