Double tapping space bar produces inconsistent results

XMLWordPrintable

      Environment

      MacOS Sierra +

      Steps

      1. Edit content
      2. Click spacebar twice after a word

      What happened

      In Safari, 2 spaces = correct fullstop. In Chrome 2 spaces = misplaced fullstop " . ". In Firefox 2 spaces = does nothing but put in 2 spaces.

      What should have happened

      Chrome should not produce the poorly formatted fullstop. We need to decide also what should be the expected behavior. Should all browsers do the same thing.

      Analysis

      This is a MacOS Sierra feature. It looks like Firefox is ignoring it and Chrome is doing the wrong thing with it. This is not a TinyMCE issue.

      Workaround

      The feature can be disabled in Mac > System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text , then tick "Add Period with double-space"
