    Odd spell check/text replacement

    I've noticed strange spell check/text replacement while composing replies. Something like type a word, hit backspace, and two or three words get inserted. I won't go further into the symptoms at this this point -- they're too weird.
    Is there a reason why the forum software would affect text editing like this? Or is it 100% on my end? Using a Samsung Tab A with Android 10/Samsung One UI 2.1.

    Edit: You might ask "Does this happen on other sites?" It's possible -- but today it's reached the level of Real Irritation. I'll watch for this symptom on other sites, and report back.

    The web browser and/or operating system handles spell checking. No spell checking feature on the forum software. That would be very very processor intensive.

        One can google ways to turn off / disable auto correct, auto complete, etc. usw., ad nauseum.

        Platform specific... drill down.

          I know my voice to text when I'm using my phone here in The Pit acts very wonky. If I go back to make corrections to what it thought I said it adds everything I type to the end of the sentence, I replace the cursor back where it needs to be, type, and again it adds everything at the end. Only happens when I initially use voice to text, and only here in The Pit not in any other web form or regular email or text messages. Technology can be very odd.

            I love voice to text when I'm drinking. It corresponds perfectly with .08. "Can I drive home?" becomes "Can eyes dry gnomes"

            My voice text was doing the same thing, everywhere. I needed to upgrade the browser.

          Huskee Yes, the symptom is similar to that. Delete a character at the end, and it pastes a couple of words from earlier in the sentence in it's place.
          Not mentioned before, but I'm using Microsoft Edge and was using Google keyboard (Gboard). I switched over to the Samsung keyboard, and I'll change browsers if needed.
