Android - Google US English keyboard backspace not working

Android 4.3.1 Nexus 7 (2013) When in a text field, backspace on the Google US English keyboard (I believe it’s default for this device) does nothing. I wrote the below code in an InputProcessor to try to chase the bug, but it never even catches the backspace.

public boolean keyDown(int keycode) {
            Tools.log.debug("keyDown: " + keycode);

I switched to another keyboard and backspace was caught just fine. Also verified google keyboard backspace works in other apps.

However, I’m not sure the problem is with libgdx.

I have this filter on TextField:

            public boolean acceptChar(TextField f, char c) {                
                return Character.isLetterOrDigit(c);                    
            }

When I try to put the letter in other language it doesnt typed, its OK. But than i can delete the text EXACTLY on the length of typed chars.

Example:

1. I set the text in show() method: “android”.
2. render()
3. click on field. try to delete text. Backspace doesnt works.
4. type filtered symbols, for example “ХУЙ”. They are not displayed and typed. OK
5. Now i can delete 3 symbols! (the length of chars which i typed before but which were filtered).

I compared notes with nexsoftware, who suggested checking out the Google Keyboard version. Mine was 2.0.19003.937116a, his (and he did not experience the bug) was more recent at version 2.0.19133.927933a. I have updated everything on my devices and have never been offered to update Google Keyboard. When I searched for “Google Keyboard” in the Play Store it wasn’t even found. But googling “Google Keyboard”, I got the link for the Play Store, which said I had installed it already. I selected “Install” anyway and it was updated to the more recent version. And the best news is that with the new version the bug went away! I have no ideas why Google Keyboard is not being offered to my devices (N4, N5 and N7); it could be a regional thing.
