Using auto-replace on space/enter feature, when a word is changed automatically, it cannot be undone. There should be a way to undo the automatic replacement. This is needed more on languages that have a not so good dictionary. For comparison, the auto-replace works better with english than with spanish or german. Also for technical or terms that are not recognized but the user want to use and leave unchanged.
Preconditions:
Auto-correction
Auto-replace on space/enter -> enabled.
Suggestions while typing -> disabled
Action:
Write a word that's not recognized by the dictionary, then press space. The word gets auto-replaced. The user wants to the original word back. Use the backspace button to partially delete the new word and then writes it back to the original word. Press space again and the word gets auto-replaced again for a word the user doesn't want.
Result:
The auto-replace overtakes the control every time and the user cannot write the word he wants to write.
Expected result:
The word is auto replaced but the user can easily undo that if he wants to. Some implementations undo the auto-replacement when the user presses the backspace.

Workaround:
Type a period or a comma after the original word. It doesn't get auto-replaced (cuestionable if it should be auto-replaced). Work forth with spaces and following words and get back to delete the period or comma.
Add the word that's getting replaced to the user dictionary so it doesn't get replaced next time.
Solution that doesn't work:
Use the undo button. It removes the change done by the auto-replace but it also removes the space. So the user has to add the space again and the word is auto-replaced again. Sometimes the undo button removes the whole word.
