I am encountering an issue in Notepad++ where dots are automatically generated when I press the spacebar. This behavior is unexpected and causes inconvenience while working with text.
To provide some context, whenever I type a space between words in Notepad++, it automatically inserts a dot instead of a regular space. For example, when I type "hello world" and press the spacebar, it appears as "hello.world". as shown in this screenshot : screen of point between words
I have tried investigating the settings in Notepad++ to find a solution, but I haven’t been successful in resolving this problem. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to disable this automatic dot generation when typing spaces.
Thank you for your help.
