Carpathius Apr 2015 3:45pm, 4 Apr 2015 6,202 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius My old phone would show the word it thought in blue but a quick tap of backspace would make it revert to what I'd actually typed. If I finished a word and hit Space it would leave what I'd typed too. I got used to that and liked it. The new one puts in the word it thinks even if I have completed the word and won't revert back unless I delete the last letter or two then actively select what I want qhen it shows in blue. That really grinds my gears.
