empty spell checker

Blu Vivo 8, Android 7.0
When composing an email, spelling errors are underscored with red as expected, but when I touch the word in error the pop-up window does not contain any suggested spellings. It only contains 2 options, delete or add to dictionary.

How do I get it to display suggested spellings. I have set the dictionary.

Is Blu vivo the keyboard? If not, which keyboard.

 

[TerryDB]

Blu Vivo 8 is the manufacturer and model name. Gboard keyboard.

Is that for all words? Cuz I have misspelled words so horribly that had no suggestions. I always use gboard and it almost doesn't let me misspell words because it corrects them when I hit space bar. Do you have any more details?

 

[TerryDB]

I have attached a screenshot example.

Is it a Yahoo mail feature? Gmail doesn't underline it when I spell it the same way you did.

 

[TerryDB]

I just thought it was an Android feature. I don't know that Yahoo mail has a spell check built into the app. I doubt it. Could it be a feature of Gboard? email is about the only app that I compose text in. just noticed that Gboard has suggested words at the top of the keyboard. i'll have to pay more attention to that.

Well my gboard on here doesn't underline anything spelled wrong. Did you get it figured out then?
