Predictive Text/Auto Correct “after” highlighting

Does anyone else get tired of auto corrected or predictively filled text from being highlighted? I type something off. iOS fixes it. I move on only to realize I need to change something, like the punctuation after the “fixed” word. I tap delete, and everything goes. Not just the punctuation. Nope, iOS thinks I’m moving back to undo the fix and highlights the word instead of letting the cursor stay free. iPad Pro. Fingers on screen keyboard. Pages and Mail. Websites and social media. This happens all over. But it’s frustrating beyond belief when I am writing. Writing on my iPad or my iPhone because I am not at my Mac. Writing composition needs a way to turn this off. I am QWERTY typing with both hands on the screen. The dang highlighting is slowing me down more than autocorrect or predictive text is helping.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17
