I just installed GrapheneOS , using the keyboard as configured by default, and the spell checking is making it almost impossible to type anything anywhere. I may need to switch to another keyboard (which one?) to be able to use the OS at all. But before giving up I would like to share some bug report in the hope that the default keyboard could improve.

(NB: this text took a very long time to write because of these bugs, had to go back and correct the many typos getting introduced in the text.)

So here is one bug report, this might be the most annoying of the various issues encountered so far.

Which apps is it happening in?

As you can see in the screen recording above, it happens in the GitHub app.

I did not think of mentioning the app where this happens because I thought this surely is caused by the keyboard software and not the app, but might be mistaken? Or is it rather some kind of integration issue between the two?
