Spellchecker hides the original message - help

Hi all.
When i spellcheck my emails, the spellchecker takes-up so much of the screen that i can't see the word that is supposedly spelled incorrectly. What that means is; I can't see what word I'm about to replaced with one of the proposed spellings.
Does anyone know how to make it so that the spellchecker allows me to see both my originally spelling as well as the list of proposed correct spellings?
Sorry if this is unclear. I'm happy to try rephrasing if need be?
Thanks

Does no one else have this problem? If I'm just missing something obvious, please tell me.
I use my TP2 for business email (as i'm sure most of us do) and I really can't afford to send messages without spellchecking. Given the issue i'm having, running spellcheck is extremely painful.
thx.

Yup, I have this problem too, noticed it last night.. together with the TAB key being missing off the keyboard... and the two locations required to switch in Delivery reports...
As for a solution, I don't know of one except getting rid of the touch flow... which im tempted to do - as once you get past the pretty'ness its "pretty" useless!

Alternate solution :
* To have both "Touch Flo 3D" and "the standard Windows Mobile menus"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu]
"CUIHandler"=dword:00000000
With the standard menus you see the text while spell checking, and you still keep touch flo (which I do find helps when using the TP2 as a one hand phone).

HarveyR, *thank you* for replying with that suggestion. I'm going to try that tonight and report back.

Harvey,
That worked like a dream... thanks so much!!
At the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth; can you tell me if there's any way to resize the font on the "menu" now?
What i means is, when composing a new message, if i click the "menu" button, the font is HUGE which means i have to scroll vertically to see all the options on that menu. Do you know if that font can be set to something smaller? If so, how do i do that?
thanks again Harvey.

[Q] Open ICS Keyboard

In pre-ICS versions of Android, the keyboard could be opened by holding the menu button. Is there any equivalent for this functionality in ICS?

When I need the keyboard it is either there or i just tap on the place I need to enter text and it appears. Can you detail the scenario where its not appearing so I can test it and see if I can get a solution.

I am researching with HTML5 games/apps. I wanted to see if I could use the keyboard keys in a game. The game seems to by loading and running, but I can't get it started without pressing particular keys. I don't know if the keyboard would even target the game. I realize that is wouldn't be fun to play with an android keyboard. I was more interested in how the game/graphics/code ran on the android browser.

Ahh I see well this is a bit beyond me at the moment as I am just starting out in development side but I have found this http://www.androidguys.com/2009/11/12/how-to-showhide-soft-keyboard-programmatically-dev-tips-tools/
Maybe its of some use but if not your 2nd post should help some of the more experienced members help straight away.

Remove Special Characters From Samsung Keyboard?

Is it possible to remove the special accented characters from the stock (4.3) keyboard? I didn't have this issue before flashing 4.3, but now almost every time I try to do a long-press when swyping I end up with a special accented character instead of the , or ( or : or @, etc. I thought that if I removed the language (like Spanish) they would likely go away, but I can't even find a way to even do that through settings. I am rooted and really not afraid to delete stuff via a file manager if someone can point me to the right files.

I'd love to know how to do this too. The special characters are killing me. I don't mind the characters like ! and @, but I hate the others because, like you, I keep accidentally switching to them.

Thanks for the confirmation of sanity. I was thinking I was the only one. Never did figure out how to do it but it's still bugging the crap out of me.

Me three! Anyone know how to do this?

You try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471321 I havent but did a little searching..

Never thought to search for the reverse (adding languages) as a solution, but it might just work. I'm on vacation and don't want to hose my phone, but I'll try it when I get home this weekend.

Delved into the suggested solution above pretty deep, but couldn't get those characters to go away even after removing what I believe was Spanish languages/characters from that configuration file. I rebooted with each change, but still no go. I suspect the problem is that we're not actually using the stock Samsung keyboard config, but are using some sort of add-on SwiftKey keyboard that is built in to the stock ROM. I think the config file that needs the edited has something to do with SwiftKey instead of the OS. I don't really like Swype so I might try the paid version of SwiftKey to see if it has a way to remove those chars but have a similar keyboard layout that I'm used to. Hopefully they won't even be there by default.

I have the same problem. I try to end a question with? But end up with ñ

[Q] After word prediction, prevent adding space character

Hello all,
Before M8 i owned HTC Sensation. I think at that phone word prediction was more pratical.
For example;
when i would like to write a longer word like "swimming", firstly i was typing "sw" and the phone predict me the word "swim" and for not typing all the rest letters i was clicking the "swim" word and after then i could continue directly this word. Type "ming" and voila the word "swimming"
But at M8, when i click the "swim" word the phone add automatically a space character and if i continue to typing "ming" it creates like this "swim ming" . So is there any way to prevent adding this space character ?

Somewhere in the settings for the keyboard likely. Just look around the settings.
If not, try a keyboard or two to replace it. That option is on most of them.

Samsung official keyboard where find learned words ?

I need to access the learned words of my Samsung Keyboard, i´ve rooted my device and tried to find it, but i can´t... Anyone knows where is stored ??

You can't see all the words as a list or something, but you can delete learned words. You just need to start typing them and as soon as it pops up in the prediction area (above the keyboard) just long press on it and tap delete. This will delete the word from your personal dictionary. I hope this helps!

So many Reasons...
What a Wonderful Question?
Why, I wonder, are you trying to find these words...
Hmmm

Ok... that helped me too, but how do you stop the s7 from learning words or at least stop putting them into the auto replace box?
