Swipe setting description: space when next word starts
Currently the setting reads:
Insert space when the next word starts
After a swipe or picking a suggestion, the space is inserted only when you start the next word - so you can still finish or fix the word. Off: the space is inserted right away.
"so you can still finish or fix the word" doesn't hold true, continuing typing inserts a space in between and tapping delete removes the whole word.
Which I think is fine, as that's the behaviour of native and Gboard as well.
Deleting individual letters to allow corrections or requiring manual spaces to allow appending could be optional settings.

@muleluku the description promised something the keyboard never did: the space goes in as soon as you type a letter, and backspace takes the whole swiped word. What the setting really changes is that your text never ends with a stray space after the last word. Fixed for build 447 and in 2.2 on the App Store: the description now says just that, in every language. I moved your two optional settings, letter-by-letter backspace and extending a swiped word, to a separate suggestion: #S368
