[sdk] TextField content partially deleted on focus with predictive text on

[Victor Tuson Palau]

With the following Textfield:
TextField {
                    id:editTitle
                    width:parent.width
                    text:taskView.tasktoEdit.title
                    placeholderText: i18n.tr("Add title")
                    style: TextFieldStyle {
                        overlaySpacing: 0
                        frameSpacing: 0
                        background: Item {}
                        color: UbuntuColors.lightAubergine
                    }
   }

And with predictive text on in the phone, if you try to click on the field while it contains text, part of the text where the cursor lands get deleted.

The work around is to set no predictive text: inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText however this is a problem when predictive text is required.

Having a bit of difficulty reproducing this on its own, which application is this from? I'm wondering if there might be some bad interaction between the setting of taskView.tasktoEdit.title and the keyboard placing the last word in the sentence back into pre-edit. I suspect the best solution might be to only re-enter pre-edit on deletion rather than also on focusing the field (a change I was already considering to solve a similar issue elsewhere), but it'd be good to be able to reproduce this case to verify that it'll fix the issue here as well.
