• Select “text” in App A; tap “Copy”
• Paste text into App B; get “ text”
Was that space in the text I copied? Why, no! No, it was not!
Do I want that space? Again, no.
It is massively annoying to have to go back and remove the space manually with my stubby peasant fingers, so how does one turn off this “feature”?

Yes, I know how to copy and paste on an iPad, and yes, it's inserting the space with all apps, and it's been doing ever since I've owned this iPad ~ about 4 months. It didn't do it on my old iPad Mini but it did start doing it on my previous standard iPad - which I'd had about a year before I broke it.

Hello Mr Larrington,
Does this happen when pasting into a particular app, or from a particular app? With a certain combination of two apps?
Trying to narrow down the exact circumstances it occurs can help the other users here help with possible solutions.
