582769 - Disable Hildon predictive dictionary action in editboxes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

Attachment: patch

Hildon editboxes will attempt to guess what you are trying to type. It can be helpful in some cases, but annoying in others. Currently, we have no way to configure indvidiual editboxes (using an attribute or something) so let's just turn it off for all editboxes.

Should we enable predictive editing wherever spellcheck is enabled?

I'd like to add code to support turning off predictive editing using an attribute, like spellcheck, but leave it enabled by default. That way we can remove it from some chrome-only situations, like the URLBar.

I think we have a bug somewhere for doing that with Android too.
