I wanted to come back to a problem I raised earlier. In all apps that involve typing， if I type a comma， a space gets added. If I then hit the space bar， as we're all used to doing， the result is what you can see. If I don't hit the space bar，but just go on typing，the result is what you see in this sentence. I'd like to know if others are experiencing this issue. FWIW， I'm using an iPad Pro M1，and Public Beta 5， but it's been like this with each successive Public Beta.
Got a tip for us?

Space added after comma

Youʼve helped me narrow it down. I use an AZERTY keyboard layout and the bilingual French and English virtual keyboard. I've found that when switching to QWERTY, whatever the keyboard language, the problem goes away. I'll be sending Apple another report.
I was going to suggest you check your text replacements in case you'd somehow set "," to expand to ", " but it seems you've already found the culprit.
The "comma" that you're typing is a fullwidth comma, which is a single character that looks like two: a comma followed by a space. So the problem isn't that iOS is adding an extra space, but rather that it's using an unusual comma in the first place.
As for how to fix it, no idea. It almost sounds like the comma key on the on-screen keyboard is linked to the wrong character.

Apparently, a full width comma is only part of the Chinese and Japanese keyboards.
According to Mr Google, anyway.

This is my biggest frustration with Apple. Very, very few reports get read, let alone acted upon.
I've installed the non-beta version of ipados26， and now I'm getting not one but two spaces added to each comma. I don't know how to report this (not that it would do any good) now that I have the full version. May I ask any one of you to try this yourself， i.e.， switch to an AZERTY keyboard (never mind the language) and see if the same is happening to you？ thanks
Test, seems fine, no extra spaces, 1,234,567, nothing ， oh wait， there it，is.
,，,，, (alternating comma from floating and full size keyboard, no spaces)
It happens in the full screen keyboard but not floating keyboard. Tested with French (France) - AZERTY keyboard. I can also see the comma glyph looks different between the two keyboard sizes.
Thank you for confirming this. I never use the floating keyboard so I guess I'm stuck with QWERTY or my physical keyboard until they fix it. I did send a report.
I have the same problem since installing iPad OS 26, affecting both commas and question marks on the AZERTY keyboard. Here are the bad ones:
，？，？，？，？
It's possible to type normal ones by using the characters that appear when you press the key at the bottom left marked .?123
Like this:
,?,?,?,?
It works, but it's a bore. I sent a report.

Weirdly iOS 26 doesn’t have the issue

Just wanted to say that on iPadOS 26.1 beta 1 this issue has been resolved for me.
