1219449 - [Keyboard] The french word "pendait" is both suggested and corrected

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

STR:
1. Switch to the french keyboard;
2. Input "pendai"
=> Note that "pendait" is proposed.
3. Tap on "pendait" to input it.
4. press space, then press back to put the cursor just after "pendait"
=> The correcter wants to replace with "pensait"...

This is really strange because the correcter tries to replace a word it should know. That's why I'm asking for a blocker status because some behavior is wrong here, and could be more present than just for this word. We should investigate.

I'm using latest dogfood build from October 23th.

5. Press space will "correct" pendait to pensait.

Could you tell me how annoy this is for French users (especially on (5) above)? I acknowledged "some behavior is wrong here", i.e. this is a valid bug, but that does not tell me whether this should block (per our P1/P2/P3 definitions).

Thanks!

Actually, it was only for french users, I wouldn't block. But I'd like that we at least investigate why this happens, to know whether it's a broader problem for other languages as well.

If we find it's an edge case, I'm fine with removing the blocker status. But I'd like someone to investigate first :)
