Public bug reported:

This seems to be behind some of the complaints about the osk usability.
The list of suggestions typically includes the word the user intends,
but it is not rated higher than other words that are not even in the
dictionary.

For example, I try to enter "then" but mistype it as "tgen" I am
offered:

"Tgen   Gen T   Gen   Then   Ten   Gent"

I would expect Then to be listed first, followed by Ten.
I do not expect to see any f the other solutions.

Another example is entering "abd" instead of "and" - the offerings do
not really make any sense and this is an extremely common word and
mistyping.
