Predicted Word Suggestions Appear Too Large #580

Open issuant opened 3 weeks ago

issuant commented 3 weeks ago

What happened?

The font size of the predicted suggestions is too big, which is bad enough, but also bolded. This causes suggestions for even moderately long words to be very squeezed up and hard to read.

The inferior suggestions to the left and right should also be sized smaller than the main one in the middle. Not sure why they are all the same size.

The font size should be similar to other popular keyboards, is this not the case for you?

issuant commented 3 weeks ago

Definitely not similar. I cannot post a video for privacy reasons so if you have Swiftkey, type out any long word, like incomprehensible for example. You will see in real time how the suggested predictions are 'smart' to the amount of space available. As the word gets longer, the font size is reduced starting from the left then the right and finally, the middle.

FUTO is 'dumb' (#581) in comparison. Type out the same incomprehensible and it continues to force all three predicted words into the same small space with the same font size, and with the middle one bolded. The result is squeezed, harder to read slender characters that have little spacing between them.

You can see how the font size is adjusted dynamically in this video and also in the '1. Slide up on the keys to capitalize' gif here.
