uitextfield clears when delete is pressed

Question

I am having an issue where pressing the delete key on the keyboard clears the entire UITextField as if I'd pressed the clear button. It only happens the very first time you press the delete key on that screen. I've checked that 'clear when editing begins' is not checked, and this is NOT a secure entry textfield.

Answer 1

it looks like it's the behavior if a UITextField's keyboard type is UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress. When I switch it to another type, the backspace does not have that behavior. Not sure what to do about it though.
