spacebar and extra spaces

I have a MacBook Pro. I am running the Mojave 10.14.6 OS.


Lately, when I am typing, the spacebar will add extra spaces. I have changed settings under System preferences but that hasn't helped.


It is driving me crazy. I end up having to fix my documents which take so much time.


It has started only recently and I'm wondering if it has to do with a recent update?

If you do not have one of these laptops, then try an external keyboard. If the issue happens with the external keyboard then you have a software or configuration issue. If the external keyboard works, then your laptop's internal keyboard has an issue and needs service.
