For quite some time I was observing the most annoying behavior in Facebook. Some words in chat and in comments were magically changing as I was writing them, creating the most embarrassing typos. It was literally impossible to write some words; they changed the moment I typed the next character, space or question mark. When I went back and fixed the typo, it changed right back. The problem manifested itself only on MS Edge; Chrome didn’t change anything. There are several questions about this in the Facebook support forum, but none of them is answered.
After spending hours looking for some sort of a solution to this ultra-frustrating issue, I finally found it:
It’s not Facebook driving me mad, it’s the default, horribly flawed spellchecker of Windows 10!
If you suffer from the same problem, here’s a quick and simple solution:
Just hit the window button and type “Typing settings”. In the settings panel that appears, switch off everything related to spellchecking.
Boom, problem gone 🙂
