Yes, and this means that there is always exactly one space, if it is
missing, it is the same "bug" as with double spaces or even worse since it
makes reading more difficult and interferes with word wrapping.
A more useful LaTeX alteration than decreasing spaces would be getting rid
of `{}` around singletons, i.e. instead of `x_{1}^{2}` it would be better
to have `x_1^2`, again for reasons of readability and subsequent "manual
manipulations". Macaulay2 is making such a change, as can be seen in one
of the failing tests here:
