Hitting backspace in a sign activates shift on your keyboard.

Put the summary of the bug you're having here

I expected that hitting backspace on the keyboard while typing in a sign would cause the letter to be backspaced and then I could continue typing lowercase letters.
Describe what you thought should happen here

Instead, when I hit backspace, my keyboard, regardless of if the character I had backspaced was capitalized or not, would automatically activate shift, so that, unless I hit shift again, the next letter I typed would be capitalized.

I was typing in a sign, hit backspace and found that, annoyingly, the character I typed was pseudo-automatically capitalized, because the shift key was automatically activated by the backspace.

1.) Enter a creative world
2.) Place a sign
3.) Begin typing in the sign
4.) Hit backspace within the sign on letters you just typed
The keyboard should auto-hit shift.

It does that for me too, and I have an iPhone 4.

Confirmed, this issue has to be fixed, because it happens for me too on the iPod Touch 5g

MCPE-1928 reports the same behavior when pressing space bar.

Standard keyboard behavior for most iPhone keyboards.

Yes, but that's only at the beginning of a sentence or after back spacing a capital letter, this does auto shift on every character backspaced, regardless of whether or not it is capital or beginning a sentence.

Yes, and since the sentence is not relayed back to the phone, the keyboard doesn't know better. This is the same issue that affects gesture keyboards.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying; either way, it's annoying when you're trying to write on signs and you mistype.
