Period (full stop) being added randomly after words when typing

I am using a MacBook Pro 2017 running Mojave 10.14.6

Recently my MacBook has started adding a period after words while I'm typing.

It never used to do this.

I have read that a solution is to disable the "add period with double space" feature.

I'm reluctant to do this because I am not hitting the space bar twice, and I'd like to keep that handy feature.


Is this a known issue and is there a fix?

Hi, welcome to the Apple Users Community.


Check your keyboard speed settings in System Preferences. Key Repeat and Delay Until Repeat can be affected by sliders as below.


Best of luck
