Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 11151.59.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.94 Safari/537.36 Platform: 11151.59.0 (Official Build) stable-channel nocturne Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. In tablet mode, open Settings, go to 'Languages and input' in the hamburger menu, expand 'Input method' and tap on the link button next to 'US keyboard' 2. Change 'Auto-correction' from 'Modest' or 'Aggressive' to 'Off' 3. Go into an app or tap the Chrome address bar to get the on-screen keyboard to come up, and try to use glide typing as usual What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? When you turn off auto-correction for the on-screen tablet keyboard, you can't use glide typing anymore - if you try to, it detects the swipe as a tap on a single key - and the suggestion bar of three suggested words never comes up while typing as it does when auto-correction is on. On Gboard on Android, both of these features worked fine with auto-correction off, and I don't want auto-correction on on Chrome OS, but glide typing is so useful that I have to keep auto-correction on so I can use it right now. It would be great if you could keep using glide typing and the suggestion bar on the virtual keyboard even with auto-correction off. Did this work before?
