Hey, that’s not a bug, that’s a feature of the web, specifically HTML, it doesn’t take spaces like you visually see it. Not by default. There is a quick solution that might work. Try adding `&nbsp;` as spaces. See the reference below.

If anyone is suffering from this issue where double-spaces persist in paragraphs throughout your app without them having been typed (see example of double-space):

Then I found the following programmatic solution worked to resolve this. Go into “Custom Code” and drop this in the head section:

```auto
<style>
    p {
        white-space: normal !important;
    }
</style>

```

This seems to have resolved this issue for me and will save you having to replace each space in your text with “&nbsp” throughout your app.
