Confluence: turn off auto-insert of period

[Kevin Shaw]

When I am typing in Confluence and I type two spaces, it automatically inserts a period.

While this is fine when editing paragraphs and text, it is incredibly annoying when editing code blocks.

How can I turn this off?

HI @Kevin Shaw 

maybe this is related to this issue: [CONFSERVER-54084] Double tapping space bar produces inconsistent results - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

This mentions some MacOS Sierra feature producing this result and a workaround to disable it.

Regrards,

Harald

Great find!! This fixed it!

@Kevin Shaw I have tested this in my instance and don't have the same behavior. I also looked in the Editor and settings and don't see this option. What browser are you using? Perhaps this is a browser based setting?

Thanks. I'm using Brave.

Actually, I just tested in Safari, Brave and Chrome.  They all do it.
Both in code block and regular paragraphs.
