Hi Julia,
The two actually have the same underlying cause, as the auto-correct
simply replaces the user input with the first entry from the prediction
engine (assuming it isn't too different from the original input).
Unfortunately the current prediction engine (based on libpresage) treats
accented forms of characters as being completely unrelated to the non-
accented forms, so the predictions it generates (and which are then used
for auto-correct) are often not very helpful.
Thankfully however, we're currently in the process of improving the
prediction engine through the use of libskeyer, which should drastically
improve the quality of our predictions and part of that is handling
accented characters correctly :)

predictive text works weird with accented words

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?
