Samsung S2 Tablet - how to disable automatic underlining, help please

[Rider9]

When using the virtual keypad all of a sudden everything is underlined and I cannot find a way to switch this off. I don't want to disable predictive text altogether, I saw this was a possible solution but I have no idea why it suddenly started happening and cannot find a way to disable the underscore! This is on an S2 tablet, when using the virtual keyboard.

Have you tried Reset Settings in the keyboard console?
It can be found in the gear icon next to the space bar. Touch and hold on the gear, then tap the gear in the new window. In the new window, it's at the bottom inside of Other Settings.

thanks, I did that... it is now underlining each word until I hit the space bar and then it stops... only to underline the next word till the next space bar hit and so on.... so although annoying, not quite as bad as remaining underlined.

I have nothing more. Bummer.

That would get on my last nerve.

Thanks for trying to help though.

This is normal behaviour for predictive text mode, if you look at the keyboard above it is the section for predictions and the underlining means that there are alternative words that you can quickly select. It is not a fault it is standard interface I believe.

You need to turn off predictive text to remove the underlining. The underlining is signifying that the tablet is processing what your typing for predictive text.
