 Description   

The backspace function sometimes doesn't work when I try to make a new world. Sometimes I had to type things in and then delete them just to delete the "New World" part.

To get to this step do the following:
1. Click "New" on the World Selection screen.
2. Click the world name to edit it.
3. Try doing backspace on it and it will not work.

Sidenote: This bug started to occur when I updated Google Keyboard.

Extra Details:
Happened on Android 4.3 when I updated Google Keyboard.
Upgraded to Android 4.4 and the problem still occurs.

this bug has been confirmed for iOS 7 users who have MCPE 0.13.0. what happens is that the backspace key starts acting like a key to move the cursor to the left once. This glitch ONLY happens on iOS 7.0.0 - 7.1.2.

Cleaning up old issues, please reply if affecting 0.9.3

My Nexus 7 (2012) has been doing this since i upgraded to 4.4 kk, but i didn't check if it was the keyboard or the android version...also confirmed on 0.8.0 alpha build 2

EDIT: Mine wouldn't let me delete anything that i didn't type in the box that time having it open...to change anything i have to go into a file manager and change it in the games/com.mojang folder
