Sometimes, on Android, you need to long click a text area to open it. Maybe you 
could try to see if that text area is one of those.

It's possible that contracted braille is interfering with determining which 
routing key you're pressing. Could you try it with contracted braille turned 
off in order to see if that's a factor?

That should be fine. I wonder if that bug isn't fully fixed.

It could be if the Bluetooth antenna of either device is right up against your 
body because our bodies make rather effective electrical grounds. Also, since 
Bluetooth uses approximately 2.4GHz, is has a wave length of approximately 
12cm. Since that's close to the diameter of our bodies, we ourselves can create 
rather complex interference patterns for Bluetooth signals. Perhaps you could 
test what happens when you move either or both devices a little further away 
from yourself.
