Hey Nick (or anybody but Sugarbritches that can help

), I've looked around in the virtual keyboard (gboard) settings and I don't see anything pertaining to swipes, etc.
That said, I do recall that a few years back the gboard went wonky, and I reset back to factory settings (as it shipped). That always works for a generic phone. It's a Moto G6 btw, and seems to be fine now after a power off reset. I should have done that initially... I do know that much .... I just like to rant

. I may reset back to factory .... but it's a PITA turning everything off again and setting my preferences back up.
Thanks all .... well almost all

!
