How can I prevent spaces from appearing before periods on my MacBook Pro?

When I finish a sentence and hit the period it puts a space between the last letter and the period. How can I fix this?


I don’t have any more details to add

That should not happen. Check your Keyboard settings for "text replacements". You might find something in it you don't want:


Keyboard settings on Mac - Apple Support

Replace text and punctuation in documents on Mac - Apple Support


If that behavior is app-specific, check its preferences or settings for something similar.
