Flow to replace selected text - miscorrections
I've run into a particularly annoying bug.
Let's say I have already:
One two three
And I select (highlight) three:
One two three
And then, with "three" still selected, I swipe the word "seven":
One two seven
The word is now correct but the word in the middle of the prediction panel is still "three". If I press space or type any other character it miscorrects "seven" back to "three":
One two three
This is particularly noticeable in Chrome. When I tap the URL bar while already on a page, whatever the current URL is will be pre-selected for me. So let's say I want to search for "happy cats". If I swipe "happy", I get "happy" but the middle suggestion is "I". So if I swipe or type "cats" next, it becomes: "I cats". In the past week I have run into this SO many times as it hijacks my attempts to Google in Chrome.
Hi there,
Thanks for the report. I created a bug report on this and have passed it to the team for further investigation.
I will update this thread with more info.
Best,
Ryan
Ugh this is driving me mad. You know how when Chrome has suggestions for the next word based on previous searches, it highlights the next one so you type over it if you keep typing? So under those scenarios it'll also miscorrect that next word to something I absolutely didn't type.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience this. You explained it very well.
very frustrating - I have miscorrected so many words to "I"
