Description
**Describe the bug**
If you repeatedly type the same prefix, then select the same suggestion offered, (for example, m, then select **more**), then eventually the predictions offered will change (for example, instead of **more**, you'll be offered **members**). This smells like an arithmetic overflow perhaps?
https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman/issues/6005#issuecomment-1079780269 may be related? (Discovered this while trying to repro).
**To Reproduce**
1. Go to testing/prediction-ui
2. Type m (on hardware keyboard to avoid fat finger), select first suggestion (**more**) from the banner.
3. Repeat step 2, 15 times.
4. On the last repeat, you'll find **members** is offered as the first suggestion, instead of **more**. Eventual output is `more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more members `;
Log of suggestions (added `console.log('suggestions: '+JSON.stringify(suggestions));` to end of `ModelCompositor.predict()` in [model-compositor.ts](https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman/blob/01217a76ae43a83d20520f0445cb6af4b625133b/common/predictive-text/worker/model-compositor.ts#L424):

**Expected behavior**
The predictions should be consistent.
