Issues while creating a new contact in iOS 8.1

Question

I'm currently using iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5s. I am currently using SwiftKey as my default keyboard. When I create a new contact and tap the First Name field, the cursor to the Last Name field itself. I have to tap the First Name field again in order to move the cursor there.
While typing something in the First Name, Last Name or Company field, if I press the delete/backspace key, it erases the last character in the current field and then moves to the next one - e.g if I had "ABCDEF" written in the First Name and I pressed backspace, it would delete the last character and the First Name field would now read "ABCDE" but the cursor would move instantly to the Last Name field. So I'll have to tap the First Name field again to start editing it. This always happens no matter how many times I repeat the process to go back to the previous field.
Is there any way to fix this? Anyone else facing the same problem?
(This does not happen with the default Apple keyboard)

Answer 1

Yes all versions of ios8 do not play well with Swiftkey: I have same problem entering contact data with focus continuing to jump to "last name" line- extremely annoying (as is the fact that "home" is the default selection for the first phone number you enter and you still cannot customize the phone number labels!) Problem resolves when I switch to default Apple keyboard
Also have to switch back to default Apple keyboard to enter "To" info when trying to send a photo from camera roll via iMessage. Otherwise no "To" line appears
Also when trying to enter the digits of a phone number to call, there is nowhere to enter the string above the onscreen keypad unless I switch back to default Apple keyboard. However you can paste a number string into the empty space. However, then you cannot select the string to backspace or add another character. Only option that works is to backspace-- which you have to do slowly, deliberately, 1 character at a time.
Does Apple even monitor this forum? I'm ready to abandon my $1000's of dollars in ios apps and go to Android.
