Switching language on gboard doesn't work

Anyone else have the issue when using jerboa that when they try to change input language (by holding the space button) the selection menu just flashes up and then disappears?

Somewhat annoying.

AnySoftKeyboard is a great alternative

- Says it can't be installed on newer versions of Android, on that link. Does it have its own repo with new versions in?
  
  looks like the fDroid version is the latest https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/releases
  
  from their mastodon
  
  All available language packs were released to production last week, and it seems we do not see any issues. This is version 5.0.28.
  
  This release includes support for Android 13+ and various Play Store guidelines.
Never had it on AOSP keyboard and please don't use gboard.
- Are there foss keyboards which support something like Gboard handwriting mode? I find it very useful for my language, Malayalam(we have about 60 letters).
  
  Nah I think it's too hard to develop ethically and run locally.
- What's the deal with gboard? To be honest I've never used anything other than the default that comes with the phone.
  
  Privacy. Sorry but I'm into that so I always tell people when I have the smallest opportunity.
