Words are added with punctuation marks

Bugreport for Nokia Custom Dictionary

Hi!

I've been using the app in my Nokia N97. I noticed that the same words are automatically added several times but with different punctuation marks at the and.
For example:
word.
word,
word!

To reproduce:
Type the word which is already in the dict (of course using T9). After typing the word do not make any space and when the word is still underlined - press "1" to insert a punctuation mark.
Now use * to change the punctuation mark at the end.
And now you can edit the Custom Dict List and you will find this word duplicated with a different punctuation mark at the end.
The number of duplicates depends on how many times you used the * button to change the punctuation mark.

Regards,
Mateo

Thanks for your feedback.
The words are stored along with the punctuation in some devices to help the predictive text system to work better. As the Custom Dictionary application gives a snapshot of the dictionary contents, you will see all such words appear.

It would be interesting to know whether users would want such a faithful list of all entries or if a filtered list (without the ending punctuation) is preferred.
