In our game it’s now possible to accidentally close the app. We see other games not having this issue. We’re probably not the only game having this issue and request, so it might be worth implementing by default or as a setting in Cocos Creator.

However, when I hover over the suggestion, the displayed text is too small, and I couldn’t change the font size of the text. As a workaround, I had to disable suggestions altogether using document.getElementsByClassName("cocosEditBox")[0]["autocomplete"] = "off"; Is there any other way to fix this issue?

This way we provide enough content at once that players won't burn through it within moments, while still avoiding crunch and burnout behind the scenes. We have enough time to develop a sizable chunk of content and deliver it often enough that we don't see huge amounts of players leaving due to the game feeling
