5.Tap into the text editor  

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?

Did this work before? Yes Chrome 69

OS Version: 70.0.3538.76
Flash Version: 

Our app is used for test taking and giving the ability for somebody to use a spell checker kinda defeats the usefulness of the app on Chromebooks. 

There was a similar defects in the past. Refer - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=616779

Hey Yingbing, do you know if the restrictFeatures API still works with the new UI? I assume that's the root cause (new UI was launched in M70).
Vijay, do you know if this TestNav app is using the restrictFeatures virtualKeyboard API? Do you know where I can find and download this app?
Hi, you can download TestNav app on the app store on chromebook. 

I am not sure about the API, I will let you know.
Thanks! I'll have a look at the app.

The virtualKeyboard.restrictFeatures [1] is the official way of disabling things like gesture typing and dictation. Might be a regression on our side.

[1] https://developer.chrome.com/apps/virtualKeyboard
The restrictFeatures API is used in the TestNav app.  Here is how it is used within the app:

chrome.virtualKeyboard.restrictFeatures({
            autoCompleteEnabled: false,
            autoCorrectEnabled: false,
            spellCheckEnabled: false,
            voiceInputEnabled: false,
            handwritingEnabled: false
        });

Let me know if you need any further information.  Thanks!
Fantastic, thank you.
