Description Jeff Johnson 2020-07-17 12:49:05 PDT 
Overview:
If an HTML <input> element has the attribute spellcheck="false", this disables macOS text replacement System Preferences. A very prominent example is the Google Search field.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open System Preferences, Keyboard pane, Text tab
2) Create a new text replacement, Replace :cmd: With ⌘
3) In Safari, open https://www.google.com
4) In the search field, enter :cmd: and then spacebar

Expected results:
:cmd: is replaced by ⌘

Actual results:
:cmd: is not replaced

Versions:
Safari Version 13.1.2 (14609.3.5.1.5), macOS Version 10.14.6

Additional Information:
Text replacement does work as expected on https://duckduckgo.com, where spellcheck is not disabled on the search field.

This bug also affects contenteditable="true" spellcheck="false" <div> elements, such as in the gmail.com email composition window body.
