Nexus 7 error "SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE spans cannot have a zero length"

I created the standard "hello world" application from Juno 4.21 and SDK 21 Api 17. Accepting all the defaults from Eclipse

I added a single edittext field NAME using the drag and drop graphical interface. I did not add any logic to the activity

Running with a Nexus 7 device Android 4.2 I get the following error repeatedly

E/SpannableStringBuilder(6610): SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE spans cannot have a zero length

When I run on the Emulators however including Nexus 7 emulator I get no error, also on my Huawei ICS 4.0.3 device it works fine. This leads me to believe this a my be a problem with my Nexus 7.

Is there someone who could test this on this on a Nexus 7 or other 4.2 device please.

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignRight="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="textPersonName" >

    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

So I have not been able to come up with a good explanation WHY this happens, but it appears to have something to do with the Autocomplete. I have a standard login dialog box that displays a username and password field. The only way I've gotten it to behave is by:

this.username.setInputType( InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS );
this.password.setInputType( InputTypeTYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS );

This could also be done in the XML using the corresponding tags.
