Windows 10 swipe keyboard

I have the same problem, but it's selective on the application. I can do it in the browser (like right now) but when I try different apps, it won't work. I'll see the swipe trail on the keyboard, but no text prediction or anything is produced. Even manual typing won't produce predictions.

This is obviously a software bug that needs to be addressed. I don't mind if the keyboard is tiny, it makes swipping much easier, but this keyboard needs to be addressed.

I want to love this keyboard, and I praise to my friends house Surface it's awesome, but Google has got you beat. You need to open up development to using on screen 3rd party keyboards or something, because user input should be secondary to the user and not something we must adapt to.

English (Australia) US - Swipe doesn't work but text typing does

English (United Kingdom) United States international - no swipe keyboard 

English (United Kingdom) United kingdom - works.

I am having the same problem on a brand new surface pro (2017) and updated windows 10 (1803). Swipe trails visible but does not input letters when swiping.

I am using a Surface Pro 4.  I do not receive an error message.

The setting you have indicated is already activated.

My Windows 10 is up to date.

As I stated, the swipe detail (the line trailing my finger) is working but it is not offering words based on my swipes.  I have used the swipe feature on Windows Mobile thus am familiar with it.
