[sdk] TextField content partially deleted on focus with predictive text on

With the following Textfield:
TextField {
                    id:editTitle
                    width:parent.width
                    text:taskView.tasktoEdit.title
                    placeholderText: i18n.tr("Add title")
                    style: TextFieldStyle {
                        overlaySpacing: 0
                        frameSpacing: 0
                        background: Item {}
                        color: UbuntuColors.lightAubergine
                    }
   }

And with predictive text on in the phone, if you try to click on the field while it contains text, part of the text where the cursor lands get deleted.

The work around is to set no predictive text: inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText however this is a problem when predictive text is required.
