Autocomplete failures
In the last few weeks, I started getting failures when using autocomplete on mobile. Often, the keyboard suggests the right word, but when I click on the suggestion, the word gets replaced by gibberish. In the video, I try to insert the word January, but on the second attempt, a different word results.
Happens all the time! Is this a problem with the keyboard or does the editor interfere somehow?
In another scenario, I might notice a misspelled word in earlier text (red underlined), so I place the cursor on it and immediately get the right suggestion. Again, clicking on the suggestion replaces the word with gibberish instead. This is slowing me down! Takes effort to clean it all up. 😞
I really don't post much on other web sites so I would not really know, but this is definitely a new problem here that has driven me crazy over the last few weeks. I have never seen this in the past.
It does not happen in e.g. the gmail app.
Using chrome and stock android keyboard on Moto g5 plus. Android 7.
Lili, I don't think we need to do anything yet unless others also see the same problem and post their observations here.
Of course this might ring a bell with somebody at lithium...
Yes, in the last test above I first cleared all data of the app.
The latest gboard update was in mid December (Dec 14), so that could actually coincide with the appearance of the problem.
Samsung uses their own skin, so they might use their own (standard) keyboard. See if you have gboard installed. You could get it and temporarily change the input preferences for testing.
Reinstalling is not an option because it came with the system. All I can do is "uninstall updates", so it will probably auto-update again soon afterwards. .... I'll try over the weekend.
