Apple: I found an insidious autocorrect bug!!! Please fix.

Thanks (kind of)

Lol, I guess I was just hoping against hope that somebody had a clever workaround or something to add.

Yeah. Thanks (I guess)

Not really helpful. I know how to use Google.

I have ALREADY submitted a bug report, to any other "helpful" forum users that just want to post links & have nothing constructive to offer.

Hoping for:

A solution or workaround

Additional stories of similar issues to add some urgency to this getting fixed.

Ahh... a whovian!! =)

Thank you for the kind attempt. Haven't been on these boards for YEARS.

Lol, had to update my list of equipment: it only said g4 Mac mini!

Forgot that you guys are used to idiotic questions posted by people that have tried NOTHING before posting.

To be clear:

This issue IS reproducible in iOS 7. My gf pointed it out to me via iMessage on her iPad mini to my iPad Air. I have a hard time believing it is not reproducible on yours. I can get it to occasionally not from Safari. Try from Messages app.. you will IMMEDIATELY see what I'm talking about.

It's only

It' so ly

It' so ly

It' so ly

Worked that 1st time for me as well. Weird. It will work in Messages exactly zero times.

I'm not going to restart my iPad because this is not that kind of problem. I do know how to though, lol.

Thanks again for the post.

Right...... but, any suggestions/insight with regard to the issue/bug??

No offense, but.... honestly I don't care if you can't figure out how to replicate this error. The fact remains that it is replicable & annoying. Not as annoying as repeatedly being told to restart my iPad to fix a software bug, lol. But, pretty close.

Here: I just did it with the words That's what... Only using the swipe up on comma to get the apostrophe.... It autocorrects to:

That' sweat

To be clear... If I do NOT type in an apostrophe in thats and let it auto correct itself, it works fine.... If I press the numeric keyboard and choose the apostrophe, it works fine. It seems to be an issue with it using the swiped up apostrophe as a word break... In other words autocorrect is looking ONLY at the letters after the swiped up apostrophe as a new word in "That's what", it sees "s what" and corrects it to "sweat".

If you want to see for yourself:

1) launch Messages on your iPad (note: you do NOT have to be signed up as an active user to type two words)

2)type T h a t (press comma key and swipe up to get apostrophe) s space w h a t

3)notice anomaly

Lol, FINALLY somebody to show the others I'm not crazy! =P

I don't think there's anything else to be done @ this point. I filled out a more detailed bug report and submitted it.

I marked you as providing an answer- just for being cool.

I must respectfully disagree with the notion that this isn't simply a software bug and it somehow hardware speed related, however. Having used iOS devices for quite some time, I've only noticed the keyboard lagging as you start getting over two years outdated... not anomalous quirks this specific. Also, you're getting it with a 4th gen iPad which is quite speedy... and I'm getting it with an iPad Air, which (as of this posting) is the fastest non Intel tablet on the planet.

CLOSING THREAD.

FIN.
