Keyboard / dictionary reset doesn't work

Hello,


I ran into this strange problem that I suspect is related to the keyboard dictionary.


Everytime I try to write this specific word, one and only one, the autocorrector change it no matter if I keep tapping on the correct word inside the << >> symbols.

So, the correct word "la" keeps getting corrected into "L.A", this happens with every keyboard (I've enabled the Italian and the English ones).


I can confirm that these solutions have not worked:


- Removing and re-adding the keyboards

- Disabling and re-enabling the dictionary for every installed language

- Checking the shortcuts (never had one)

- Creating a shortcut (eg. L.A into la)

- Restore the dictionary


If I disable the predictive suggestions the system still automatically correct the word:

If I disable the Italian dictionary and remove the Italian keyboard, when only using the English keyboard I still get the same correction! This also happens if I do the reverse thing, using only the Italian keyboard and dictionary.


The only "solution" is to disable the auto corrector, which definitely is something I do NOT want to do since everything worked perfectly since this issue.


Thanks for your help.

Hello,


Since this morning the problem apparently solved itself without me doing anything.


I left the phone turned on (airplane mode) during the night charging and in the morning when I had to reply to a whatsapp message I was suddenly able to write the world "la" without problems and auto correction...it's all gone (I hope) now, after circa 6 days since it popped out.


It must surely be a bug of some kind because if I now try to replicate the correction, writing "L.A" in the message box, the system doesn't see it as an unique word but in the suggestions/corrections row there's only << A >> highlighted without "L." , because of course it doesn't see the period as the part of a word anymore.
