Description

First of all, thank you for providing Cotabby for free. I've been using it as a replacement for Cotypist, and it's one of the best free alternatives I've found.

I'm experiencing an issue where accepted suggestions are inserting spaces in the middle of words. This happens consistently with almost every word suggestion.

For example:

Expected: description
Actual: des cription

The same issue occurs with many other words. Since I use Cotabby mainly for faster typing and word completion, this significantly affects usability.

I've attached screenshots showing the problem.

Expected Behavior

Expected Behavior
When accepting a suggestion, the completed word should be inserted correctly without any additional spaces. For example, typing "descption" and accepting the suggestion should result in description, not des cription.

Environment

  • Cotabby version: 0.4.1
  • macOS version: tahoe 26.5
  • Mac model: macbook air m5
