Bought Swiftkey some time ago, never use it because it handles multiple languages in a way I don't like (and auto space doesn't work)

Auto space doesn't work if you have 2 or more languages installed

I never had issues with auto space either. I use three languages with mine, and I like it. The only thing I don't like is that it adds extra characters on the keyboard depending on the language enabled, making all of the letters smaller. Annoyingly, it doesn't happen with German (I have to long-press regular characters to go to special ones), but it slaps the Slavic characters on the keyboard itself.

I installed Flow btw, like it so far. Swiping to the left across the keyboard doesn't delete the last word anymore, though :( I honestly can't believe how much I've gotten used to that.

Give me the speed of the stock keyboard + autocorrect capabilities of Swiftkey, and you got yourself a winner. I use Swiftkey, because of the amazing autocorrect capabilities, but it's always slow to initialize and popup on my screen when I click on a text entry field (vs. stock keyboard). I especially love the new 4.2 stock keyboard with Swype like abilities. Swype is just irrelevant now...

Crappy for you at least. Have you filed a bug report with Swiftkey?

Typed the same phrase in Serbian, it's working. Might be an issue with the Dutch language module.

Yeah, it probably has to do with dutch and certain other languages as I'm not the only one with smart space issues

They should add a language selector

How does it compare to the Android 4.2 keyboard? I like it better than Swype already, but I haven't tried this out.
