Here's a fun issue for you all. I'm using notecase for encrypted storage on my N810. I usually don't pay attention to the suggestions at the bottom of the screen when typing at the keyboard, but I was entering my very long alphanumeric password into notecase's password dialog and after typing the first two characters, my full password was displayed at the bottom of the screen for quick entry. For most applications I'd find this behavior handy, but in this case it's rather disturbing.

Is this a bug with notecase or with the O/S (or user )?
Is there a way to disable type caching for certain applications?
Other suggestions?

Password fields do not get saved, normally. I'd say it's most likely a bug in notecase.

If you Google this forum you'll find that there's a way to eliminate specific words from the predictive text dictionary.

Google is my good friend, but queries "predictive text dictionary site:internettablettalk.com" nor "predictive text site:internettablettalk.com" failed to yield any info on eliminating words from the predictive text dictionary.

Links from the search did give instructions on how to turn off predictive text which makes my X-term using life much better. Guess this can't be set to be application specific then.

I'm still concerned about having my p/w cached inside the predictive text dictionary. I've run many more search queries attempting to find instructions on this one, but have only found unanswered requests so far. If you know of a thread that covers this, I'd be grateful if you could give a link.

Benson, you'd recommend I log a bug report in the Maemo notecase app site? I was hoping for the much easier to fix operator error bug.

Cheers!

Tap and hold the highlighted word, a context menu pops up, choose to remove it from the dictionary.

Thanks! That was too easy, I wanted to play at the CLI.
