Problem with my IPad air Magic Keyboard since updating to IOS 26

Ever since I updated to IOS 26 my IPad Magic Keyboard does not work as well as it did before I updated. Now when I type where I’m typing the screen turns baby blue. Also the space bar does not always work. Is this a bug in the new software? Is there a fix?

iPad Air, iPadOS 26

I think I found the perpetrator - Microsoft’s Swiftkey App. De-installied it, now things are back to normal. Has never been a problem since recently, it is - has been - actually quite useful. The app „learned“ a lot of the words I was using and proposed / predicted the words I was going to use really well accordingly. But since iOS 26, it messed up as described. Thanks for the helpful tips!
