IPad double spacing in FaceBook posts

I had this problem once before and I don’t remember how it was corrected. I am thinking I caused it by hitting too many keys on the touch screen all at once. While in FaceBook, commenting on a post, as I type I get 2 spaces between words. This only happens in FaceBook, and only in posts. It is also limited to my IPads not my Android, and not on FaceBook mobile. It is not IOS specific or IPad specific. It does not matter which IPad I use, when signed in under my name it happens, under another name it does not happen. This leads me to believe it is a FaceBook/IPad setting issue. If I remember correctly I found a post that told me to press 2 keys and it fixed it. I don’t remember the keys or the post. Any helpful answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just bought a new Ipad(2018 version) and this has been happening since day 1. I just read a reply on here where someone said a Dutch keyboard was installed, he removed it and it fixed the issue. I didn’t have a Dutch keyboard installed, just QWERTY. There was an option for a Qwertz keyboard. I’d never heard of it but I switched to it and it fixed the FB problem! The only difference on the keyboard is the Y key is now where the Z Key was and Z is n the top row where Y was, hence the name QWERTZ. Might take me a bit to get used to my Y bent moved, but when I hit the z because I’m used to QWERTY keyboards, it autocorrects👌. I hope this helps someone because my FB posts looked awful.

Same thing on iPhone because I use safari browser and not their app.
