libgdx: Android - Google US English keyboard backspace not working

Android 4.3.1 Nexus 7 (2013) When in a text field, backspace on the Google US English keyboard (I believe it’s default for this device) does nothing. I wrote the below code in an InputProcessor to try to chase the bug, but it never even catches the backspace.

public boolean keyDown(int keycode) {
            Tools.log.debug("keyDown: " + keycode);

I switched to another keyboard and backspace was caught just fine. Also verified google keyboard backspace works in other apps.

However, I’m not sure the problem is with libgdx.

I have this filter on TextField:

            public boolean acceptChar(TextField f, char c) {                
                return Character.isLetterOrDigit(c);                    
            }

When I try to put the letter in other language it doesnt typed, its OK. But than i can delete the text EXACTLY on the length of typed chars.

Example:

I set the text in show() method: “android”.
render()
click on field. try to delete text. Backspace doesnt works.
type filtered symbols, for example “ХУЙ”. They are not displayed and typed. OK
Now i can delete 3 symbols! (the length of chars which i typed before but which were filtered).
