This issue is bugging me a LOT!

G1 running Cyan's 4.2.7.1

I'd like to disable prediction and autocorrect when typing on the hardware keyboard. A thin bar spanning the bottom of the screen shows up with word predictions, and automatically corrects to the closest match when I press space. Happens when composing in gmail, handcent, the market, address input in browser, and probably everywhere else.

I've tried settings/locale & text/device keyboard/auto-replace, checked and unchecked. Doesn't change a thing.

Your help is appreciated.
