Safari suggestions above keyboard - can't turn off.

Hi,

I'm frequently getting suggestions which appear above the keyboard in Safari despite the fact that all the settings for this are turned off. This has been a well known bug in the past but I can't see any recent threads on this. Are others experiencing this issue? It's annoying as none of the suggestions are ever helpful.


Please see attached screenshot.


Thanks

Unfortunately these steps don’t work; it’s not really predictive text in the sense that it’s trying to predict search terms which are completely useless. From what I have learned there are suggestions that you can’t turn them off which is annoying as they are not in any way helpful and just take up screen real estate.
