Same goes for the German language.
Example: 'Haustür' means front door and 'Schlüssel' means key. So
'Haustürschlüssel' means the key to the front door. If I want to swipe this
compound word with Google Keyboard, I have to swipe both words separately, then
use the cursor to manually go back behind the 'S' of 'Schlüssel' delete it and
the space before and type a 's' and again manually place the cursor at the end
of the new compound word. This is not at all user friendly!

This issue was posted five years ago, but is apparently still not fixed. When
using Google Keyboard with auto correct, I have to edit every other sentence
manually which can be a bit frustrating to say the least.
In my case, I run into the issue using the Norwegian keyboard, and this can
lead to some awkward sentences. If I were to write "pineapple rings" in
Norwegian, it would translate to "ananasringer", but Google Keyboard insists on
changing it to "ananas ringer" using two words instead of one. The latter would
literally translate back to "pineapple is calling", giving the sentence an
entirely different meaning.
Many Norwegian phrases rely on this seemingly subtle, but extremely important
difference. Giving the influence of the English language on modern Norwegian,
several people already struggle when using compound words. We want to preserve
the Germanic languages, and (possibly exaggerating) this bug might just work
against that.
