Bug Description
This seems to be behind some of the complaints about the osk usability. The list of suggestions typically includes the word the user intends, but it is not rated higher than other words that are not even in the dictionary.
For example, I try to enter "then" but mistype it as "tgen" I am offered:
"Tgen Gen T Gen Then Ten Gent"
I would expect Then to be listed first, followed by Ten.
I do not expect to see any f the other solutions.
Another example is entering "abd" instead of "and" - the offerings do not really make any sense and this is an extremely common word and mistyping.

I currently have an item on my todo list to try and write a new presage module that can take account of spatial information when producing predictions (for example 'g' is next to the 'h' so 'Then' would be a very likely candidate for having been mistyped), which should greatly improve these types of scenario.
