Predictive text/autocorrect bugs

For some time now I've been experiencing annoying bugs in the keyboard's autocorrect behaviour.

The two main issues are that sometimes it will replace a word with the previous word I just typed (so I end up with two repeated words in a sentence), and that it insists on capitalising any word I have previously capitalised in what I'm currently writing. So if I start a sentence with a certain word, then use it again in the middle of another sentence, autocorrect will capitalise it every single time. I could understand it if these were infrequently used words, or words I have capitalised many times, as it might be reasonable to assume it is "supposed" to begin with a capital letter (e.g. a name), but it happens with words I very regularly type in lower case too.

Weirdly right now when I'm typing this I can't seem to force the repeated word issue to happen! But literally a few minutes ago when typing a Facebook comment I had both the repetition of a word *and* the unwanted capitalisation occur in the same comment!

If I type the word Weirdly, though, it autocapitalises as I just started the previous paragraph with it!

I also experienced this issue. Yesterday, I read your article and, thankfully, I was able to resolve it by downloading the Google keyboard. It worked flawlessly. It appears that the problem lies with the Samsung keyboard. I suggest trying a different keyboard

For me it just doesn't let me remove any of the word suggestions yeah you tap and hold but it literally only works for the middle one all it does is save all my spelling mistakes and shows them there like hey you wanna say thakns instead of thanks IT WONT DELETE BECAUSE ITS NOT THE MIDDLE SUGGESTION so I have to straight reset my keyboard

Disgust haha you're entirely too much... if having to delete 1 word every now and again is that bad just turn predictive off and learn to type better.
