A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I couldn't find any information as to why, but playing around with other symbols suggests it only does it with symbols where they assume the space isn't supposed to be there. E.G. Colon, ending parenthesis, equals sign, etc. Digging around in the settings I couldn't find any option to disable this functionality.
Folks elsewhere suggested switching to the Swype keyboard, but I don't have personal experience with it in a very long time so I don't know anything about the settings and automatic behavior.
I used Swype like a decade ago, but now I've built this one up with dictionary, gestures, etc. Quite annoying.
