This doesn't appear to be an issue in other Flutter-based apps like FluffyChat and is not an expected behaviour for an iOS app. The jumping around of the chat window is kind of jarring.

is this affected by toggling suggestions on/off in Settings?

Suggestions on/off doesn't make a difference. The issue appears as a result of hitting the spacebar after entering a word. However, keyboard autocorrect on does resolve this.

I looked into this over the weekend. From what I can tell, this is an issue due to Syphon having keyboard autocorrect off by default and the use of swipe to type or QuickPath on iOS. I think QuickPath overrides any keyboard autocorrect settings since without it you wouldn't be able to correct your swiped words.

I tried to find settings around swipe to type or QuickPath in Flutter and couldn't find much. I still think the best solution here is to have autocorrect enabled for iOS only since I don't believe that information leaves the device and in the case of QuickPath, it's already doing it in the background anyway.

Let me know your thoughts tho @dnisbetjones!

That seems like a reasonable option as people will still be able to disable those things anyway should they wish.
