Android Edittext display only part of inputted character
<p>I'm having a  strange problem with  the android edittext inputfield.</p>

<p>I use the edittext field to let the user of an app answer questions that are generated by the app.
Now this works fine...but every now and again.. completely random (i.e. i could not find the pattern)  the edittext field stops displaying the input after <strong>the first part of the first input character</strong>. <br> To test I type in an incorrect answer to the question many times in a row. The problem occurs anywhere between the first and the 500th or so repetition of the wrong answer.  <br> It's only a display issue because all the inputted characters can be retrieved  from the edittext field (with gettext() ).<br>
I did not find this behaviour on my simulations only on my test phone (samsung galaxy s)<br>
I could not find anything in the log...<br>
The editfield is on a TabHost-tab. When i switch to another tab and return everything is fine again, the same applies to rotating the device to landscape and back. 
Did anybody ever encounter this strange behaviour  : edittext stops showing text after only part (looks like 1 or 2 leftmost pixels of the character) of the first inputted character..and can point me to a direction ?<br></p>
