Cannot type a space at the end of last line
-
Using the classic editor, it stops accepting typed blank spaces at the end of a line. I’m not sure exactly what triggers this behavior, yet, but it is reproducible and consistently occurs at the end of a line – usually (always?) before a newline or end of text in the main body of the post.
Workaround: paste or type a word, move the cursor to the start of the word, type a space – delete any nonsense text when the post is complete. It appears that ONLY the spacebar is affected, and this behavior occurs on different PCs using Chrome browser. (I don’t feel like beta testing this release further; it doesn’t work properly in Chrome, but there’s a workaround and it’s adequate for now.)

That’s an interesting question. Yes, of course there’s a reason – I’d like to type another word. I’m not done with the paragraph. I don’t want to type like this:
Thequickbrownfoxjumpedoverthelazydog
Hope that helps to clarify the issue for you! Note that I cannot reliably reproduce what initially triggers this behavor. Once it starts, though, it’s consistent.
P.S. The workaround seems to be to type the text above, but move the mouse back before the previous word, at which point you can add spaces and other characters:
Thequickbrownfoxjumpedoverthelazy [insert all the text and spaces you want] dog
Then, simply delete the unwanted “dog” at the end. It’s an ugly, unnecessary thing to have to do, though.
Unfortunately, I cannot post images here. But I do see at least one possible issue (using Chrome’s “Inspect” feature). Why is WordPress adding
to leading and trailing blank spaces on a line? I don’t think that’s consistently the trigger point, but I’ve noticed it seems to miss this on some lines, and that seems to be when the problem begins.Same here… WordPress version 5.2.1
Ok, I found a “solution”. This happened to me when I upload an image to the post, insert it in the post and I began to write. So you have to change to the HTML version (click in the HTML tab) and you’ll see
YourTextWithoutSpaces<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-13250" src="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/especial/example.jpg" alt="" width="212" height="300" />and you have to change it to:<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-13250" src="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/especial/example.jpg" alt="" width="212" height="300" /> your textAnd that’s it, with only 2 words, now the space bar works as intended in “Visual mode”.
SO glad I’m not the only one!! Same issue here:
1. I have one list in this post. I can see a space after my list & before the next paragraph in the body of my blog post when I’m in “Visual”, but the space is gone when I preview the changes. Also, the numbered list won’t indent.

2. There’s also an extra space after each H2 heading in the text body.
Anyone know how to solve either of these issues?
