I'm sure, soon or later, this issue will be fixed! Thanks for understanding.
No problem at all.
I blame Samsung since Android 4, as they are pretty good with disabling usable options, in that case XT9 On-Off key which used to work perfectly on my ancient 2.3.6 device. Now since Android 4 disabling predictive text is hidden so deep, even if you custom Gear button On, on your keypad is annoying.
For sure there are third party apps for that.
In simply words, typing thinks such web-address with predictive text is complicated, but typing essays such emails or WhatsApp messages, predictive is unbeatable.
Thanks,
Locus can wait, just reported to you.
