Auto-complete a bit aggressive #69

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Swedish setup
2. Auto-complete on in settings
3. Type "cool" and press spacebar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
My typing is getting replaced with "viol". I would have expected my typed word 
"cool" to stay, as viol is so different. I don't know about other auto-suggest 
engines, but maybe the correction should only be applied by default when there 
are fewer diffs between the words, or the typed word is a substring of the 
suggestion?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 13 on Android 1.6 / S-E X10 Mini Pro

Please provide any additional information below.

"Cool" and "viol" are actually really close; look at your keyboard:

c and v are right next to each other
o and i are right next to each other

So from the keyboard's point of view it's quite likely that when you actually 
typed "cool" you were really trying to type "viol".  Once "cool" is in the 
dictionary (long-press it to add it), this shouldn't happen.

Thanks for your explanation. I'm sure this makes sense for many users. Still, 
it would be great if you could add a setting that lets one disable the "correct 
nearby key pressed" functionality that you describe, while still keeping the 
rest of the auto-suggest. Personally I have disabled the auto-suggest feature 
altogether to cope with this.

Thanks
Mike
