Random edit insertions make typing impossible!

When editing, if I move the cursor to insert a word, the iPad automatically makes it uppercase. Really annoying and time consuming to correct this!
My iPad inserts periods and capital letters in my text. This seems to happen after a longer session of ongoing typing. It becomes impossible to type and revise constantly.

Please help! I saw similar questions by others that were not answered. Surely, others are having a similar problem. What can I do? Thank you.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Thanks for the suggestion!

I may try this out, reluctantly, because that is a useful feature I have enjoyed for years! Since the problem started recently- within the last 2 months, maybe- I don’t think it is linked to that particular setting. Am I wrong?

Turn off Settings > Keyboard > Auto-Capitalization, the “.” double-space shortcut for ending a sentence, and related.

There seems an obvious experiment available here, no?
