For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don’t understand?

Edit: I believe I have fixed the issue by disabling the “Smart Compose” option.

    So if you try to write hello *world*, your gboard writes hello*world* instead? Because mine does not.

      To clarify, only if you decide to go back and add the asterisks later. To add an asterisk inline, you need to add a space manually before already.

      This is a feature of “smart compose”, apparently, and I’m now going to turn it off…
