Enable autocorrect, word suggestions, swiping for document title edit

Hey,
currently, the title field for document does not let me swipe and also does not give word suggestions or corrections. Kind of like password fields are handled, but without the input being hidden.
I'm certain that this isn't per device or keyboard specific, but just in case, I'm using a Pixel 6 and Gboard.
I also can just guess that this has been done intuitively/in purpose? I don't really see why, because, at least when using the other attributes correctly, I don't even see the title field as that important, but would like to be able to quickly give some keywords what this document roughly is about, which is made harder by not having support for swiping and suggestions/corrections.
I appreciate your work :)

Hi,
just for the feedback, i have this issue too.
best regards
Same issue here. Gboard user on OnePlus 11 Android 14. Life is harder without the swipe.
I think the problem is the text box is somehow telling the keyboard that it's a password field, so the keyboard is put into "password mode," which disables things like autocomplete and swipe.
I did some digging, and it looks like dart's TextField has an attribute called keyboardType, that seems to do things that are adjacent to this. I see that in the places that are problematic, it seems to be set to its default value. When I compared fields that worked with fields that are broken, I couldn't tell what the difference was, so keyboardType is probably not the right place to look. I haven't programmed in dart before, so I'm unfortunately not an expert on this.

@astubenbord do you have any ideas? It seems like this is probably something simple, but I'm not sure where to look from here.
Issue still persists. No autocorrect available while typing, no matter which field.
