The control under Menu > Settings > Conversations > Enable Smart Emojis does not work.  I turn off "Enable Smart Emojis" and Message+ continues to put gray balloons around certain words (so that they can easily be converted to emojis).

I don't want this feature!  It is infuriating!  I want to disable it but can't.  It was disabled, prior to a recent OS upgrade, and now I can't see how to re-disable it!

I'm running Message+ version 6.9.13 over Android 8.0.0 on a Samsung Galaxy S7.

Assistance appreciated.
