A Period (Full Stop) Is Automatically Added If I Tap Spacebar Twice.
This issue is due to the Auto-punctuate option which you might have enabled by mistake. Although the Auto-punctuate option is to help you make your typing task convenient and comfortable, sometimes it is really annoying when every time you press the spacebar on the keyboard in error, a period (.) is automatically added to the sentence.
You can resolve this issue very easily by going to the settings window of the default keyboard, and then disabling the Auto-punctuate feature from there. Here’s what you need to do:
Note: If the problem persists, follow the steps from 1 to 6, and on the opened keyboard settings window, tap the Predictive text toggle button to turn it off. Try tapping the spacebar twice on your favorite text editor now.
Note: Although the above discussed method was used to rectify the problem experienced on the Samsung tablet device, it can be used to solve the same issue on any android mobile/tablet. However, the icons or the way to reach the Settings window and/or to the Predictive text option may vary depending upon the type of device you are handling. If the default input method of your device is something else, the name ‘Predictive text’ might also be different. You can refer to the user manual that came along with your device to learn how to go to various options on your device, should your device starts behaving obnoxiously, or stops responding as expected.
