Word suggestion disappears after completing the word #11

When typing a word completely, it disappears on the suggest panel. E.g. write 'happiness' and watch how it gets suggested after your wirte 'happi' and then gets removed after completing the word 'happiness'. I know that is it not 100% necessary to show a word that has been written correctly, but other keyboards work that way (e.g. Swiftkey) and it makes me a little confusing because usually I only focus on the 3 suggested words and now I also have to look at the field where I write the words. It leads to more eye movement which makes the whole typing process slower. Maybe this could be an optional feature setting.

I agree that this should be an optional feature, because those who are accustomed to aosp (like me) may prefer this behaviour.

I'd be very happy too to have that feature! Since I have to press the spacebar in most of the cases after having written a word, it is more efficient to press the displayed word in the suggestion bar, because this ads a space too. This way, the user works more in the suggestion bar instead of switching around between space and suggestion bar. So it would be great to have a setting to enable that the word currently written is 1:1 displayed in the center of the suggestion.
