Hi group,
as mentioned when I’m writing in a forum and double space or press a full stop, The curser moves 1 or sometimes 2 spaces back and removes those digits. It doesn’t happen all the time but most of the time. It happened just now. When I wrote time and double spaced, the cursor moved back 2 spaces deleting the char. (character) see. I’m using a iPad Pro when this happen. I haven’t tried it on my PC as yet.
Has this happened before to anyone else.
Thanks.

I like to add. This doesn’t happen on ‘’othe‘’ forums. As you can see it happens when I just press the space bar aswell.

It could be some function of your IOS keyboard autocorrect. FYI double spacing was done for largely for clarity in fixed width printed text. It is largely deprecated in the modern digital world now due to variable spacing fonts. MS Word will flag it as incorrect, and perhaps this is what's happening with in concert with the forum software resulting in this behavior.

Thanks interestin,
I have Auto Correction turned off and it’s still misbehaving as you can see by the word misbehaving after I placed a comma it removed the last letter g.

I might experiment with other Keyboard settings and see what happens.
Thanks.
