Scene Textedit Autocorrect

The TextEdit Dialog contains no AutoCorrect functionality.  If, for example, you use an Input Dialog you can use the reference "245841" for input type to get all AutoCorrect functionality (and multi-line) which is what I need.  It seems this has been an issue for years and I think it should be considered a bug more than a feature request.  A TextEdit dialog should function as text does literally anywhere else in android.
