Seems to be an odd / random occurrence but if you type a few letters maybe 4-5 and then try to delete everything, it won't let you (with keyboard dock haven't tried a 'soft' app yet).
Also noticed in a few apps that paste is broken in certain text fields.
Anyone else having these issues and know a fix?

I've run into the paste thing myself. Not the backspace yet, although I've seen at least 2 other threads with it being mentioned,.
I've run into the backspace not working when trying to correct input in a field on a web site.

If this fix your issue make sure you hit "thanks"!! just kidding. I found a work around may work for you guys. Just change your default keyboard to Android instead of Asus. Let me know if it works for you.
I ran into all kinds of oddities like that before the Jelly Bean update. What app are you using that you're noticing the Backspace problem OP?
Most of my problems were always with Chrome before JB update. The search box after the initial search in Google would become inactive, times I couldn't clear it with Backspace nor highlight.

Worked for me - thanks! Do you lose any functionality switching like this? The function keys all seem to still work.

@ under 2 is the International US Layout.
@ under ' is the UK Layout.
Just go to settings --> input and language and change the keyboard language from English (US) to English (UK).
I have both of these problems. when I change my keyboard from asus English to Android English, it just prompts me to returm it to Asus keyboard to maintain hardware consistency. nothing seems to work! As an aside, running stock, no root..... wah-wah!

i do have Android English (UK) and for some reason some keys are swapped like "@". when choose ASUS UK its all ok but have backspace problem
I'm using Android keyboard with US version and I don't have the problem you having. Maybe it's time to try factory reset! some thing is not right with yours.

I did perform a factory reset and still have the same issue and it's random and seemingly was in every app (last time I saw it it was inside of stock Browser).
However, I did switch to Android keyboard from ASUS (there was a working that this work cause issues) and I'm no longer having the problem. Viable work around indeed! thanks guys!

The backspace key issue (and others) seem to be tied to any text input which does not completely constrain the cursor. To check cursor constraint, simply put carrat focus inside a text field and then press home or end from a physical USB/bluetooth keyboard or by using the FN key on the dock. If focus stays in the text box then you should experience no keyboard issues. If, however, the current page jumps to the top or bottom them you will see random loss of the backspace key as well as a few other annoying things. For example... in a non-constrained textbox the delete key on a USB keyboard will not work but shift-backspace on the dock will. Go figure. Setting input to the Android keyboard only corrects some of these issues. Please file a bug report with ASUS using your VIP memeber account if you have one as this requires a patch from them in order to correct.

Just wondering if anyone else is suffering from this.
When you use to Youtube app and search using the field up at the top, nothing generally goes wrong. You can type in the search field without problems
But, when im watching a video (not full screen), and i try to use the search field, the field will NOT let me type more than one word. When i press "spacebar" to space out for the 2nd word, what ends up happening is that i start tabbing thru the videos on the right hand column.
VERY ANNOYING.
Happened on 3.0 and still happens on 3.1
does this happen to u?
good find, its happening to me too, but it only occurs when I'm docked with the keyboard. When I'm using onscree keyboard, its fine

I had the same last week and again last night, both times while using the dock keyboard.
I just got the 3.1 upgrade this morning, I'll see if it's still an issue when I get home tonight.
Yepp, been having that problem too. Still an issue in 3.1 and only with the docking keyboard.
But my the thing that annoys me the most is this youtube widget bug (if it is one):

I currently use the thumb keyboard, and this is a potential problem that i could bring up with their developers. But currently the problem i have is when using the tablet(undocked) i use thumb keyboard, when i then dock the tablet the input method is still set to thumb, the dock and everything works except it is in a US layout, annoyingly " and @ are swapped. To fix this everytime i have to click the keyboard icon in the notification bar and select asus english uk keyboard.
Anybody know of an app in development to automatically switch this, and back again when undocked.
Or does anybody know the code to detect docking and undocking? and i could try write something.
Cheers

I think at this stage you'll have to change it manually, I'm not aware of anything such as an app that can change it automatically based the whether the dock is connected.

Anyone else seeing a problem where the YouTube app is totally borked on the Asus Transformer when it's docked? Type something into the search and press the spacebar, and it seems to scroll the page rather the type a space...
bizzare...

I have the same problem, and no not touching anything except the space bar.
I have just been pressing the search button on the dock when I'm looking stuff up on youtube. The space bar works fine that way til someone finds a way to fix it.

WORK-AROUND: click the youtube logo at screen top/left and use the search box on the home screen instead, as that one isn't affected by the typing bug.
I have the same problem. Thanks for the tip.
Recently I purchased the thumb keyboard app and have been using it but whenever I dock my keyboard my tablet freezes unless I manually go into settings and change the keyboard to the asus keyboard even though the input method is set to automatic. Is anyone else having this problem?
nevermind, fixed it!

How?
Never had this problem. Just wondering what you did wrong in the first place.
Ok, I cannot find anything related to my problem, and I CAN`T be the only one with this.
First things first: My name is Lane, long time lurker, first time poster. I have a P-3113 GTab2 7", stock rooted JB 4.1.2, and a IVSO bluetooth keyboard case. Over the last week, I've been trying to find a way to hide the soft keyboard while using the BT keyboard. I started with "Null Keyboard", but all it did was get rid of the keyboard entirely. I still like using the soft keyboard when I need it in a pinch. I don't like having to switch manually. Then I found AnySoftKeyboard, which i freakin' love.
But now i have a problem.
When the default keyboard is set to AnySoft (or any other keyboard for that matter), i can use it and its wonderful features for a total of 5-10 minutes before Android complains and throws up an error message, then switches the default keyboard back to Samsung... I even caught a screenshot of the error just now. You can see AnySoftKeyboard in the screenshot behind the message, but then it switches to the Samsung keyboard.

It is an error i might recognize.. Does it happen with ny other keyboard too??like swift key or ny other that stock??
If you get prob just in AnySoft then its the problem in programming made by the app developer,
if other keyboards crash too then i guess its the problem in your rom.. Did you flash ny thing on your current rom??
Also,
Try using WIFI keyboard if you want no keyboard display while typing from external keyboards via usb
ROM is stock JB, just rooted. Nothing else flashed. This happens with other keyboards, too, like SlideIt, Null, and AnySoft.
As far as I know, this only happens when I have my bluetooth keyboard connected.
It is really not that hard to switch input methods between a BT keyboard and an onscreen keyboard, no app is needed to easily go back and forth between those two. There should be a notification that shows up to easily switch input methods when a text box is tapped.
It looks like the second line says "change BT input method to stock Samsung keyboard", if that's any help.
Attached is the said notification.
