Occasionally I am hitting this problem on my iPad Pro's (virtual) keyboard.
The wrong key '-' (minus) is triggered when hitting below it.
I tested several iPad Pro's, and the problem seems to exist on those as well.
I reported to Apple, but they deny it is a bug.
The attached zip file contains an mp4 video.
What do you think?

I can replicate on my IPP 12 G2 in both Portrait and Landscape for both the - and = keys.
Interesting ...

Thanks for testing on your device!
I can definitely not reproduce the problem on the = key. On my device only the - key is affected.
Could it be that the underlying touch area of the affected and smaller sized key (only available on IPP) is actually that of a regular sized key? The size seems to match up.

That is possible.
I could only replicate on my IPP. Any other iDevice (Air 2, Mini4) I tried didn't show the bug.

I guess after all this time Apple refuses to acknowledge this bug, let alone fixing it.
iOS 12.1.1
How disappointing.
