1152929 - [Feature Request][Contacts] Please disable spelling Auto Correction for contact name fields

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1069830

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Contacts, defect)

Description

[Joshua Mitchell (Inactive)]

Description:
It is very unlikely that the Auto correction will correctly handle Proper Names. It is MORE likely that it will incorrectly change a contacts name as the user enters it, creating a frustrating user experience and possibly causing them to enter and save incorrect data. The correction DOES handle normal / common names fairly well but will auto correct a lot of slang, abbreviations and nick-names. 


Repro Steps:
1) Update a Flame to 20150409010203
2) Launch Contact app
3) Select Create New contact
4) Enter the first name 'Emp' and hit space (just one example)


Actual:
Name is auto-corrected to 'Emo'


Expected:
No auto-correction. If I actually did know someone named 'Emp' it is very presumptuous to assume they would be 'Emo'
