Bug Description
I've seen this both in italian and spanish where there are accented words: if for example in spanish I write "mama", it doesn't suggest anything else. If, instead, I type "mam" (or if I go back and delete the last "a"), it does suggest "mamá" (which is the word I want but am too lazy to tap myself).
It's even more annoying in italian: writing "e" doesn't suggest "è" (which is the one I usually want) but in this case I cannot delete anything to get the suggestion offered and I need to long tap the e key everytime I want to type "è".
Could we make accented words "similar" to those same words without any accentuation so they get suggested?

Thanks for your report. I agree, it's the same problem in French. When the user types a non accented letter, the keyboard should propose accented variants of the word.
