Problem with Auto Replacement

I have a new S4 GT-I9505 Android Version 4.2.2
I have a serious problem specifically with email. When I turn on Auto Replacement in Predictive Text, my typing goes haywire. I would be on Line 3, and suddenly the cursor goes into line 1 or 2 and inserts a word or replace a word that I have previously typed!
The only way to fix is to turn off Auto Replacement.
I have tried turning off Auto Replacement and used SwiftKey, Same issue... Swiftkey would also cause my cursor to jump up and insert some word on another line.
Has anyone come across this?
Thanks.

Any help please?
thanks

It's a known bug, very annoying indeed.
Change your keyboard to 3rd party or email client to 3 rd party client.

I've not seen that but I've seen another problem where the 'custom' dictionary takes priority over the included dictionary. So when I added all the bad words I know, my phone started auto-correcting just about everything to bad words. Maybe it's just forcing me to be more honest with people.

[Q] stock keyboard irregularity

im using the stock samsung keyboard on my att s4 for texting inside google hangouts. i got the autocorrect feture a while back where it gives the sweeping replacement arrow on the left of the suggestions box then the two other suggested words on the center and right boxes, one day the arrow disappeared and the whole system acted more like the apple set up and i had three suggestions words and no arrow and the spacebar would auto replace with a spelling correction. now out of nowhere it has switched back to the sweeping arrow again. what am i missing here? i liked the three word setup much more. is this a setting im missing somehow of what??? or some sort of updated happening behind the scenes??

Did not like the original samsung s4 keyboard but that is my own thought as I was so used to using the Google Keyboard on Nexus 4
I currently use the SwiftKey beta keyboard app for my S4 and it working great
Before that I had the Google Keyboard which you can download from Playstore and give it a try

hey thanks for the reply, and sorry im so late getting back. thanks for the tip on the different keyboards. ive tried the google keyboard which i really like the simplicity of but i really like the dedicated number row on the stock s4 board. ive also tried the swift beta and its so close to perfect but ive really gotten used to the long press punctuation on the s4 also. i also dont care for the way i have to swype for the question mark on the swift beta keyboard.
my original question is a wierd one though and i dont think i asked it well. i think my issue is more with the auto correct feature than they keyboard. there is an arrow that shows up to dismiss the autocorrected word. that disappeared for a while and then it came back. i kinda liked the three word replacement better than the two words and the arrow. i was just curious why it switched and then switched back. and if i could choose it somehow.

[Q] Auto Hide period special characters

You know you can long press the (.) period key on the Samsung keyboard and select a special character... well that pop up window used to auto hide after do that but a couple of weeks ago it stopped doing that. Now I have to click outside the pop up to make it disappear. I tried a keyboard reset but that didn't fix it. Anyone know how to get it to start doing that again?
I can switch to the Google keyboard and that works fine but I like the Samsung keyboard better.

Speech to text. Where is it?

I have both the Samsung and Google keyboards installed but am missing the voice to text microphone in both of them. Where do I find it since I used to use it alot!
Thanks,

Hold the button to the left of the space bar on the keyboard and choose the microphone from the pop up menu. Once you have chosen it, it will stay showing

It's not there! That's the problem

Use a different keyboard or go through the settings for the keyboard you are using.

Samsung keyboard auto replace bug

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and I'm experiencing a weird issue
If I like wright a word and it's spelt wrong it auto replaces the word but if the word was correct I can tap on the word and a dialog box with the original word pops up above the keyboard but today I saw that the dialog box appears underneath the Samsung keyboard.. the only fix is to reset the Samsung keyboard and it works again for a while then it happens again.. I really need a permanent fix for this because it's driving me nuts and it resets my learnt words Everytime..
Thanks in advance
