Adding Periods and double spaces after words

My keyboard suddenly is making double spaces between words and adding a period before each double space.I have tried to make sure nothing is under my space bar. I turned off the automatic period feature so the periods are not happening now, but the extra spaces are. I have turned the key repeat feature down. When I restart the computer, it works for a while then starts again. Is there a fix for this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

If the issue seems to continue after checking system preferences as recommended in the article, we would suggest to Contact Apple Support for possible accessories service options.


We hope this finds you well!


Cheers!
