My mac keeps adding spaces after punctuation like commas and brackets, unless there is punctuation before it, and not just on some specific apps. I turned off auto spelling correction and double space periods and tried a safeboot. Nothing worked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Are you using the "accessibility keyboard / keyboard viewer"
Click three dots in the upper right corner/ slide down to "typing"/ uncheck "insert/remove spaces"
The accessibility keyboard / keyboard viewer allows you to see pre-emptive suggestions while you type.

Hey there kitten3333,
We appreciate you reaching out on Apple Support Communities! It looks like you've already made the changes you'd need to by disabling Add period with double-space. In this case, we'd recommend testing to see if the same behavior occurs in a newly created admin test user: Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
Let us know the results.
Cheers!
Hi kitten3333,
We understand that punctuation is being added incorrectly. Are you using Dictation? If so, auto-punctuation will automatically insert commas and other punctuation. You can find this setting in System Settings > Keyboard. Scroll down and disable this feature.
You can find more keyboard settings in Change Keyboard settings on Mac - Apple Support.
Regards.
When I tuned off the accessibility keyboard the problem was gone.
It worked fine in the other account
Thanks, but the problem is already fixed.
