Extra space in autofill fields

[Guest]

I just noticed that when adding a new contact to Pocket Outlook, it's
autofill 'feature' adds an extra, unwanted space after the entry. Normally,
this would not be of concern, except in my GPS app that uses those contacts
as destinations. I kept getting errors from PocketMap Navigator saying it
could not find these contact addresses in its map data. Now I know why. Who
do I see about this? Does MS want to know about such things, and if so, how
best to inform them so this bug can be fixed?

You can turn that off. I don't have my PPC in front of me
right now, but from memory if you click the little up
arrow at the bottom right, where the entry method chooser
is, there is a menu where you select the keyboard, block
recogniser, etc. At the top is an "Options" option.

Select this and I think the third options page has the
option to enter the space after auto-completed words. Also
the option to turn off automatic capitals at the beginning
of lines, which I find annoying.

Are you absolutly sure it's Outlook ? I can duplicate your experience
this way : I went to the Start->Settings->Input panel. And I looked at
the Word Completion tab.

When I selected 'Add a space after the suggested word' I could
replicate your problem. When I deselected that it went away.

Does that help ?
