Hello,

with LyX 2.3.2 on Mac 10.14.5 I came across a problem that was also described 
on Stack Exchange but hasn't been answered. Instead of rephrasing I quote:

"So back in older version of Lyx, while it still didn't allow you to type two 
spaces in a row, if you went back and put the cursor before a space and tried 
to type another space it allowed you to do so. If you moved the cursor without 
typing anything further, the space was simply deleted, but if you wanted to 
insert a new word before the next one you could have done so.

In the new version of Lyx this is impossible. If the cursor is before a space 
and hit space, it simply moves the cursor to the right so that you would be 
right before the next word. Therefore if you want to write a new word you will 
at first have to juxtapose it to the next one (or the previous one), so God 
forbid Lyx might not worry you might be up to typing two spaces in a row."

It also confuses the save function: When I enter a space after a word, this is 
removed automatically, so no change is shown, but the document is still marked 
as altered (the save button becomes blue).

Is this behaviour intentional or a (known) bug? Or should I file it?
Thank you very much!
