1169963 - When you type a space after punctuation or a number, autosuggest area briefly flashes its most recent suggestions

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Type this into a text message: A!
   --> note that some suggestions appear after you type the A, and then disappear after you type the !.

 2. Hit the space bar, and *watch the autosuggest area*

ACTUAL RESULTS:
The autosuggest area briefly flashes some suggestions -- the ones that were up before you typed the "!" -- and then they disappear.

I reproduced this on a Sony Xperia Z3 ("aries"), with a recent Firefox OS 3.0 Nightly from dogfood channel:

}

The "!" character is not special -- I reproduced this with ?, ), 1, &, *, and /. So, lots of punctuation, as well as numeric digits.  I could not reproduce with "@" or "." however.

(The autocorrect flash is visible briefly in the YouTube video, at time 0:06. The autocorrect area quickly flashes some suggestions, immediately after I type the space character.)
