Duplicate text shortcuts

Hi! I've had a MAC and iPhone for more than 4 years. I set up text shortcuts that have always worked on both devices, but as of last week, I've had problems with my Mac. If I text o-m-w, instead of it being substituted by "On my way!", it duplicates the last part of the text - "On my way!my way!".

I cannot find a way to fix this. It is only on my computer. iPhone works perfectly.

Thanks for your help

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


Any change?
