      Mine constantly pulls the bait and switch when I try to type “definitely”. On the third letter, it will momentarily recommend “definitely”, but after an instant, say, long enough to decide to tap the suggestion, it switches it to “Def”, and because I tapped the suggestion, I have to go back and delete the whole word and start over
