Describe the bug
In German it's typical to connect nouns to make them more specific. e.g. if you have a swing it's a "Schaukel" and if it's specific for (little) children (="Kinder") it's a "Kinderschaukel". But the auto suggestion/correction splits it into "Kinder Schaukel". So if I misspelled something just in the first part of the real long word I can't use the suggestion as it would split it into two and even capitalize the second part. To correct all this is more effort than to change just one letter...
As this is something very common and typical for uncountable words it doesn't help much to add everyone to the dictionary. (The typical famous example for this is "Donaudampfschiffahrtskapitänsmützenkordelband..."

To Reproduce
Type "kinderschaukel" and get as a suggestion "Kinder Schaukel" instead of "Kinderschaukel".

Expected behavior
Connected nouns shouldn't be separated.

(For this it would also be very helpful to have an option to switch of the space after accepted suggestions. So if I accept "Kinder" and want to add "schaukel" I currently have to delete and add again the last letter "r" of "Kinder" to be able to connect my second part of the word...
The same problem appears often with some grammar or gender...
So I would prefer adding everytime a space after the suggestion in general by myself and being able to directly add an extension to the accepted suggestion.
But I guess this should be a feature request...)
