@Mindy D, There have been auto-correct and auto-capitalize glitches along the way, but I'm not experiencing any and I use my iPad 6 (iPadOS 14.2) extensively and daily.
You might have a keyboard language or keyboard dictionary problem that's only triggered when your iPad is communicating with the Q forum software.
Some things to look at in your iPad Settings:
-- Under General-->Keyboard-->Keyboards
be sure you've only selected the ones you need/want (I have English (US) and Emoji).
-- Under General-->Keyboard-->Text Replacement
be sure you only have the shortcuts you want to use.
-- Under General-->Dictionary
be sure you've only selected the dictionary languages you want to use.
-- Under General-->Reset-->Reset Keyboard Dictionary
you can reset the dictionary that's been modified and customized (it "learns" over time to add new words to the predictive and autocorrect text based on your usage, and occasionally can pick up unwanted suggestions). A reset allows it to go back to the basic dictionary and start fresh.
eta: I was thinking, too, if none of those steps seem to help, be sure you've deleted all the browser history/cookies/data and also performed a backup/sync to delete all the built up analytics and diagnostic data that sometimes can cause weird activity.
Resetting the network settings (under General-->Reset-->Reset Network Settings) can clear up the odd bug that peeks in when interacting with websites, too.
I hope this will be useful -- if you're still having problems, let us know and I'm sure someone here will put the clues together and find the solution.😊
@dooBdoo Thank you. I'll be trying this next. I've tried the other suggestions. I don't want to reset network settings or delete my data because I always have log in to all my sites all over again,

You're welcome, @Mindy D!😊
However... deleting all the browser history/cookies/data is an important step and should be done as regular "housekeeping."
I do it at least once a day.
The data stored there is meant to be temporary storage.
It isn't meant to be long-term, permanent storage and if allowed to build up over time can be -- actually is -- the cause of a myriad of glitches.
Also, the analytics/diagnostic data that is deleted when we backup/sync isn't supposed to be saved and built up permanently over time.
It often is another source of problems.
I'm not sure what you mean about logging back into sites... it's important to log out of every website once we've finished the session (not a good idea to remain logged in when we don't need to be).
The temporary storage in history/cookies/cache/website data isn't the place where our permanent autofill login credentials are saved/stored for password autofill when we return to a site.
On the iPad, password autofill data for Safari is saved in Settings-->Passwords and it's not affected when we delete the browser history/cookies/cache/data.
Also, particularly with iPadOS 14.x, due to a number of unresolved network problems it's a good idea to reset the network settings fairly often, and then when the device powers back up just select your modem/router and enter the password.
You should've already logged out of any websites, and the "network settings" data isn't related to your website password login autofill.
Fingers crossed you'll resolve this pesky little bug!
Take care, be safe and well everyone.😊
