i do not know but noticed that as well, however it hasnt bothered me.
I dislike the fact that when i add something such as or it always puts the colon right after the last letter i typed. So i say "I like that " it would go "I like that"
I always have to backspace the colon out and then put it back in

 

That's because that is the proper use of a colon

 

Yeah I find it a PITA when it does that as well. Specially when the Droid's smiley's include the stupid - in the faces. For example, which I don't understand why it does that since all other messaging systems use the simple or It creates an inconsistency among the chatting programs. When I talk to my girlfriend on her blackberry through gtalk, I insert smiley face and she doesn't see the emoticon.

Anyway, enough bickering. I wish some things would change.

 

When would you not want it to add a space? If it is the end of a sentence you can either hit space again (double space adds a period) or just hit period and it will put it in the right place. I think its pretty smart about adding the space.

 

Why would you want to change or disable this feature??

 

The feature is good for most writing, but there are cases when spelling product or company names, or usernames that mixed case is required.
