Text automatically deleted while typing when Predictive Text is on

Reported by ch...@clarishealthcare.com, Aug 23 2016

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Make a webview and point to any page with a text field that doesn't have autocomplete='false'. Or, use any Samsung device because they ignore autocomplete attribute in forms. 
2. Try typing things into the field, even normal words. Then press space bar between words.

What is the expected behavior?
The text should print normally, as I type. If there is any incorrect word, there should be a proper correction

What went wrong?
Text randomly gets removed, and I get a bunch of these in the logcat:

D cr_Ime  : [InputMethodManagerWrapper.java:74] updateSelection: SEL [40, 40], COM [27, 40]

Attached is the logcat of when I tried typing 'Hello'
After I finished typing, all I see is "O" in the text field.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 52.0.2743.116  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.0.1
Flash Version: 

When autocomplete is disabled on the form using the html attribute 'autocomplete=off' and 'spellcheck=false', typing works properly on other Android devices (running 5.x, 6.x). However Samsung does not respect the html attribute for autocorrect.

I've resolved the issue, and it was not an issue with Chromium. It just had to do with how Samsung devices did their auto correct feature.
