Weird autocorrect behavior:

[Parth]

Describe the bug

On my phone, typing Im into a TextEditor will highlight the text and suggest the word I'm as an autocorrect replacement. If I tap spacebar it'll accept the suggestion, and put my cursor over I'm | <-- here.

In this library if I tap Im it will auto correct to I'|m after which tapping the spacebar (the normal behavior) I'll be in this state: I' m. For my use case turning autocorrectionType(.off) would be a disappointment.

I can try to capture a video if you have trouble reproducing this.

Interestingly this doesn't happen on new documents.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to reproduce this. I booted up a simulator and when I typed "I", "m" and space, it autocorrected to I'm. This may be something to do with iOS autocorrect?

I would recommend:

• Try to reproduce the bug on a new device or simulator, not a personal phone which may have a previously affected iOS dictionary
• Reset the affected device's dictionary to reset autocorrect (how to)

If none of that works, please provide:

• Exact version of iOS / iPadOS / macOS where your app was running when you saw the bug
• Is your app using AppKit or UIKit? If your app is for iOS or Mac Catalyst, it is UIKit. If it is for macOS natively, it is using AppKit.
• The file in which HLTE is being used

@kyle-n this is on a simulator: https://youtu.be/lOoK9TifNKo

our app is targeting everything, but the bug is only experienced on ios / ipados -- where autocorrection is enabled.

I used the text of my bug report. I said before that this doesn't happen on new documents, I think this is incorrect, I think this doesn't happen at the edges of a document, but happen in the middle of a new document as well.

these are some facts from the simulator:

Awesome, that video did the trick. I can reproduce in the UIKit editor with these steps:

• Create an HLTE instance with multiple lines of text
• Move the insertion point to the end of any paragraph that is not last
• Press enter and type "I" and "m"
• Observe that "Im" has autocorrected to "I'm" and the insertion point is now between the apostrophe and the "m"

The editor handles autocorrect correctly when typing at the end of the editor's current content, but not when typing anywhere else.

I will investigate and try to figure out what's happening here. 👍

I'm not sure what change did it, but I can no longer reproduce this bug using the the steps to reproduce I laid out. @Parth are you still seeing this? If not, I'll close this Sunday.
