Microsoft text suggestions not properly working in Teams

Anonymous

Microsoft text suggestions (only in Teams) is not replacing words, it's instead inserting the word I chose right after the few letters I have already typed.

For example, if I'm typing HOWEVER, when I type in the letters HO and then click on the correct suggestion, instead of getting the word HOWEVER like I used to and still do in all other apps, I get HOHOWEVER.

I already checked for updates and signed out of it and back in, and restarted my laptop to no avail.

Uploading screenshots isn't working.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Thanks.

    work around -- not idea but it does work ...

    • Workaround that works for me it's to press Ctrl + Shift + Arrow Left (to select typed part) and only after that select suggestion

    You may check whether the spellcheck dictionary file gets corrupted of Teams. Refer to the steps below to check this issue:

    • Go to C:\Users<USERPROFILE>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\dictionaries

    • Delete (.bdic) file that is there.

    • Close Teams (by selecting the task bar icon and Quit)

    • Restart Teams

    After restart Microsoft Teams downloads the updated/latest dictionary file.
