[Verizon] Swype on JB ROMs (any fix for funky behavior?)

Is there any fix for keyboards acting all funky on JB ROMs? I've only run two JB ROMs so far. One of the ones based on the leaked GSM backup from Google I/O, and the problems with Swype annoyed the hell out of me. Been using Sourcery 2.2 for a few days and it's pretty much the same deal.

The problem, is that Swype (both Swype, and Swype Beta) doesn't auto space between words anymore. I've tried the Swiftkey 3 demo version, and it has the same problem, plus it doesn't predict text... at all (which kinda defeats the purpose of Swiftkey). SlideIT auto-spacing seems to work, but frankly, I just don't like that keyboard.

There are a few apps that seem to play nice with swype so far though. The text boxes for writing a review in the Play Store works fine, and an IRC app I use works so far too. But other than that, there's no auto-spacing.
