Gesture typing degrades when new words added to personal dictionary #346

Description

@cinnabar777

I'm pretty sure I've confirmed this bug.

I've loaded an empty dict file so there is nothing happening with that.

Enabled "personalize suggestions"

Using only words in the Android user dictionary.

Gesture typing is fine.

Make changes to the Android user dictionary using user dictionary manager (UDM), add some words using another Keyboard, return to using LeanType gesture typing: it starts getting off on letters, at least on my custom layout. When it would get "it" and "is" for the gesture it gives "I" and "I'd". This happens for a lot of words, like it no longer is mapping the layout correctly for certain words and those world's path's are slightly stretched and short. It is like it is learning the paths for other words.

I compared this with HeliBoard and it does not happen in HeliBoard.

Copilot suggested this fix when I played around with gesture typing with it but I have no idea if it is correct or even in the ball park.

One of the things I added on my Copilot test was a word cache to help learning. It is apparently possible to cache the gestured words and their gestures with those suggestions then add them to some learning, after Keyboard close, that is supposed to be happening but isn't working correctly on LeanType.

Currently LeanType gesture typing degrades quickly when "personalize suggestions" is enabled compared to HeliBoard.
