OK, that behavior isn't one I've seen before - at least not with the WebKit
builds I was testing with way back when.

Can you try a couple things for me? Select the "Prevent double spaces" in Spell
Catcher Preferences, Interactive, Automatic tab. Tell me whether the 2nd..nth
space after typing a space are suppressed or not (and whether all or just some
are suppressed or "allowed" through.

Might also be useful to know whether the "Suppress separator" option for
individual shorthands (checkbox is below the expansion area in the Shorthand
editor window) works or not.

Also see whether typing a tab instead of space as the separator behaves any
differently.

If WebKit isn't properly suppressing characters, that is a very serious (and
new to me) bug that needs to be filed (and fixed!) ASAP. The consequences of
this sort of "not suppressing characters when an input method want them
suppressed are severe...
