Samsung Keyboard Text Shortcuts No Longer Expand Automatically After One UI 9

Previously, when I typed a saved text shortcut and pressed the spacebar, the shortcut would automatically expand into its corresponding full text. For example, typing a specific letter or abbreviation and pressing the spacebar would automatically insert a predefined phrase, such as a long string of laughter.

After the update, the expanded phrase still appears in the suggestion bar above the keyboard, but pressing the spacebar no longer inserts it automatically. I now have to manually tap the suggested phrase to expand the shortcut.

This behavior was working correctly before the update, and I did not intentionally change any keyboard settings.

Expected behavior: Saved text shortcuts should expand automatically when pressing the spacebar, as they did before the update.

Actual behavior: The expanded text only appears after manually tapping the suggestion in the keyboard's suggestion bar.

Please investigate whether this is a bug introduced in One UI 9 and consider restoring the previous behavior or providing a setting to enable automatic text shortcut expansion.
