Cannot type a space at the end of last line

  • Using the classic editor, it stops accepting typed blank spaces at the end of a line. I’m not sure exactly what triggers this behavior, yet, but it is reproducible and consistently occurs at the end of a line – usually (always?) before a newline or end of text in the main body of the post.

    Workaround: paste or type a word, move the cursor to the start of the word, type a space – delete any nonsense text when the post is complete. It appears that ONLY the spacebar is affected, and this behavior occurs on different PCs using Chrome browser. (I don’t feel like beta testing this release further; it doesn’t work properly in Chrome, but there’s a workaround and it’s adequate for now.)

  • Thanks Holly. I have a Showit theme. Showit has a unique (I believe?) relationship with WP, so I’d have to muck around a lot to change themes right now. I tried Gutenberg and found it incomprehensible.

    I suppose it’s one thing or another in life as in WordPress (lol).

    I just started my blog so I don’t have historical knowledge/experience with blogging issues. It’s all experimental for me at this point which is frustrating. I’ll have to keep trying new ideas. Hoping that WP will get on a solution to this!
