Gesture typing gets turned off when autocorrection for VKB is turned off in the US Keyboard (English) Settings Page

Project Member Reported by gracec@chromium.org, Jun 21 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: (copy from chrome://version)
OS: (e.g. Win10, MacOS 10.12, etc...)
69.0.3464.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Go to Settings and look for Languages and Input
(2) Go to Input Method -> US Keyboard
(3) Click on icon to go to the Settings page
(4) Turn off Autocorrection for Virtual Keyboard
(5) Gesture typing stops working

What is the expected result?

The UI in settings should tell you that if Autocorrect is turned off then you cant use Gesture typing.


What happens instead?

Gesture tying stops working and the box for Gesture typing still says it is enabled.

Hi Yingbing, I saw that gesture typing is explicitly disabled when autocorrect is off. Is it possible to still have gesture typing when autocorrect is off? I think turning off gesture typing when turning off autocorrect is unintuitive, but it might be unavoidable?

If this can't be fixed, should we make it more obvious that disabling autocorrect disables gesture typing? Examples:
- When turning off autocorrect, warn the user that gesture typing will also be disabled.
- When turning off autocorrect, untick the gesture typing checkbox and grey it out.
