MODERATORS
I've had it happen to me a few times on my phone that the stupid auto complete would write my email with a space after, and then the even more stupid form would take the space into account.
Took me a while to realise what was going on!
This has been something frustrating about switching to FUTO keyboard recently. Its auto space insertion isn't clever enough not to activate in username/email fields, compared to Gboard. So because many of my logins contain a period, I have to catch and remove all the extraneous spaces now.
Input forms can be designed so that an email input doesn't put a space in it. Notice the .com, .org or whatever doesn't do that, it's just when it's in the username portion. Its just lazy programming to not do it.
100% why I wrote "the even more stupid form". Someone isn't sanitizing inputs and it drives me nuts every time.
