TextField text replacement on iOS when autocorrect disabled #74753

mzykiert · 2021-01-26T19:57:49Z

Problem occure on ios when on device are defined Text Replacement (Settings->General-> Keyboard -> Text Replacement).
Despite disabled autocorrect for TextField text replacement still works.
We decide to disabled this feature because flutter have problem with tooltips (#12920) and user can't decide if he want to replace selected text. I belive autocorrect setting to false also should disable text replacement.

Steps to Reproduce

Code to reproduce problem:

void main() {
    runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return const MaterialApp(
        home: Scaffold(
          body: Center(
            child: Padding(
              padding: EdgeInsets.all(60),
              child: TextField(
                textAlign: TextAlign.end,
                decoration: InputDecoration(hintText: "hint"),
              ),
            )
          ),
        ),
      );
    }
}

Expected results:

Text shouldn't be replaced.

Actual results:

Text is replaced.

any update on this? still facing in ios 17

LongCatIsLooong · 2025-04-09T16:45:43Z

I belive autocorrect setting to false also should disable text replacement.

I do not think this is the case in UIKit apps. These are two different features and they just appear to be using the same UI.

Without additional information, we are unfortunately not sure how to resolve this issue. We are therefore reluctantly going to close this bug for now.
If you find this problem please file a new issue with the same description, what happens, logs and the output of 'flutter doctor -v'. All system setups can be slightly different so it's always better to open new issues and reference the related ones.
Thanks for your contribution.
