Extra spaces when typing on my MacBook Pro

On my MacBook Pro when I am typing, the space bar is inserting an extra space without prompting which also puts in a period and capitalizes the next word when not needed. This is very frustrating. Has this happened to you and how did you repair?

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14

Go to the  Apple menu and choose ‘System Preferences’
Select the “Keyboard” preference panel, then choose the “Text” tab
Locate the setting for “Add period with double-space” and toggle the checkbox to the OFF position
